INOFlex® VT-Q – Enhanced Flexibility, Faster Setups
The INOFlex® VT-Q takes flexibility to the next level with its integrated quick-change jaw system. Designed for speed and efficiency, it allows you to switch between clamping setups in seconds – cutting down on set-up time and boosting overall productivity on the shop floor.
A Flexible, All-Round Clamping Solution
Available in sizes from Ø160 to Ø1200 mm, the INOFlex® offers the combined strengths of 2-, 3-, and 4-jaw chucks, as well as vices – without the typical limitations. Its patented compensation mechanism ensures secure, reliable clamping across a wide range of part geometries.
-
Handles round, square, rectangular and irregular components
-
Ideal for delicate or easily deformed parts
-
Supports open or partially open centre applications
-
Enables both internal and external clamping
How the INOFlex® System Works
Unlike traditional chucks where all jaws move symmetrically in or out from the centre, the INOFlex® operates on a unique concept. Its four jaws move along two parallel axes, either towards or away from each other. This motion is mechanically linked using a system of levers or a sliding gate-style gear, allowing opposing jaws to compensate as needed.
This patented compensating mechanism enables precise centric clamping of round, square, and unevenly shaped components – making it ideal for turning and milling operations that demand high accuracy.
The HWR INOFlex range is fully compatible with the HWR INOZet – You can learn more about the INOZet here –
