Hello there,
We aquired a second hand Mori Seiki CL machine a few weeks ago. This is our 11th Mori so we are quite familiar wth how they work etc.
The machine came wth a collet chuck attached and a bar feeder, whch we have been running for a few weeks,but we now want to put a 3 jaw chuck on the machine.
The machine was delvered wth a ROTA-G 200-62 chuck. I have looked at these on the internet and it is described as a manual lathe chuck. It has no internal thread to screw it onto the machine draw tube,but can be screwed on to the face plate with 3 cap head bolts.
The hydraulic pedals don't open or close the jaws because they are in no way attached to the drawtube, but instead the jaws are closed with a square key, just lke on a manual lathe, and move in on a spiral.
I certainly don't lke the look of this, or the idea of usng it on the CNC machine, has anybody used one of these on a machine before,if so, did it work? I don't like the idea of the machine spinning at stupid revs, without hydraulics holding the job in the jaws.
