At IMTS 2014, booth W-2300, Parlec, Inc., will introduce ERos™, a simplistic, ultra precise, extreme performance toolholding system.

“The ERos system delivers high velocity and high performance without having to spend a considerable sum of money on startup costs,” said Dave Hartman, Product Manager, Rotating Products, Parlec, Inc. “For little more than the cost of a quality ER Collet Chuck system, you can improve your cutting performance both in tool life and more importantly in production rate.”

The ERos System provides ultra-precision concentricity of less than .00012” at 3 times the diameter. The unique design of the collet seat and collet nut combined with extremely tight manufacturing tolerances provide an added benefit of extremely high grip force. The chuck body and nut utilize 2 pilot diameters, one above and one below the threads, to give the nut the best radial position to the seat; eliminating any clamping distortion. All holders are balanced to G2.5 and the aerodynamic design of the nut provides extreme performance at high speeds without detrimental effects of unbalance or vibrations.

Parlec plans to showcase and demonstrate ERos at this year’s IMTS in September. For more information on Parlec and its toolholding product line, visit parlecIMTS.com.
