INOFlex® VT-S – Patented Power Chuck with Through-Hole
Designed to meet the demands of modern machining, the INOFlex® VT-S is a patented power chuck that offers true flexibility. It allows for self-centring, compensating clamping of a wide variety of workpiece shapes – from round and rectangular to more complex, irregular geometries.
Versatile, Cost-Effective & Built for a Range of Applications
Available in sizes from Ø160 mm to Ø1200 mm, the INOFlex® delivers the benefits of 2-, 3-, and 4-jaw chucks as well as vices – all in one intelligent system. Its patented compensation design overcomes the typical limitations of conventional clamping, ensuring secure and accurate results.
-
Ideal for round, square, rectangular and irregularly shaped components
-
Perfect for delicate, deformation-prone workpieces
-
Supports both open centre and partial open centre setups
-
Suitable for 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 –
