As the sole UK agent for Forkardt, Brown and Holmes has extended its website to include more detailed information on Forkardt chucks, plus installation and support offered by the company. Visitors to the website can now find in-depth information on the full selection of Forkardt standard and special rotary power chucks, expanding mandrels and steady rest packages available.
The website now includes information on the technical support and installation services on offer to help with incorporation or retrofitting of any of the components. Kevin Ward, joint managing director of Brown and Holmes (Tamworth), said: 'The changes to our website reflect the fact that we don't just supply Forkardt chucks, we specialise in delivering the right Forkardt workholding solution for end-user requirements.
'So, as well as providing more in-depth product information, we also wanted to show how we can work with customers to design, machine, deliver and install to their exact specifications and budget,' he added.

Gewefa Collet Chucks Are Spindle-Compatible
Gewefa is offering a range of precision-milling and collet chucks that are fully compatible with the company's spindles. The Gewefa MX high-speed milling chuck is said to offer stronger gripping power - claiming 100 per cent more gripping torque compared to a 16-collet system - as a result of its smaller taper angle and a nut-free design that minimises centrifugal force and vibration at high speeds.
Its design, where the collet is drawn into the chuck body from the back, provides uniform all-around clamping and ensures fine run out. The slim design minimises interference issues and enables precision machining into hard-to-access pockets, particularly when milling. The Gewefa SX precision collet chuck features a smaller taper-angle design for maximum grip between the chuck and the cutter shank, with better concentricity over conventional collet systems, according to the company.
The flat-ground shoulder in the collet nut ensures the hold on the cutter is precisely along the tool holder centreline. This chuck is suitable for light milling, semi-finishing and high-speed machining. Balanced versions of both tool holders are available for very high-speed machining.
