Why would I want an air-collet closure?
An air-collet closure is extremely easy to use and requires very little effort on the part of the operator. The operator uses an electric foot valve to open and close the collet, thus allowing both hands to be free. In addition, with an air regulator on the closing side of the cylinder, you can regulate the amount of gripping pressure of the collet. This allows thin wall and delicate parts to be held by the collet closure. Also, the collet movement of an air-collet closure is more than on a hand collet closure allowing the use of internal expanding and pot chuck collets.
