Triton
Precision power chuck for soft and hard-turning operations
"The precision turning chuck for process-reliable and micrometer precision production."
With Triton®, SwissChuck AG has introduced a modular power chuck range that caters to high-end applications such as turning, hard turning, and grinding. Precision manufacturing and high-quality materials components guarantee a radial runout of less than 5 µm. The precision interfaces between the base and top jaws ensure a fast change-over of the accessory parts and guarantee constant chucking repeatability, eliminating subsequent turning or regrinding of the top jaws. The extended version, Triton® PLUS, additionally features centrifugal force compensation and thus guarantees constant chucking force at high RPM, specifically when dealing with hard turning.

Changing jaws within micrometer tolerances is made easy!
All power chucks of the Triton® generation feature precision jig-ground locating bores for precision ball positioning. This design feature ensures a quick clamping jaw change, independent of the chuck, without regrinding the jaws. Hence, this saves valuable time and increases productivity. Under optimal conditions, the jaws can be changed with an accuracy of ≤ 0.002 mm.
Highest precision even at high RPM
SwissChuck offers the Triton® with and without centrifugal force compensation. The optional, integrated centrifugal force compensation ensures constant clamping force even at high RPMs, especially for soft or hard turning. Due to its high precision and robust design, the Triton® can also be used for grinding applications, especially when grinding large and heavy components. Due to the low speeds during grinding, the Triton® is used without centrifugal force compensation.
