CUSTOMER CREATIVITY​

Situation

This case study shows that a customer may choose to design and build his/her own custom made fixture to be mounted on an air chuck.


In this case, a customer has purchased a PML-PAL turning chuck, a precision air chuck, 125mm, NBC type with three jaws, along with air feed tube, and three top jaws.


The customer has built a fixture/cover to go on top of the chuck’s

front side with three orientation pins, and three stoppers. He

prepared custom top jaws in order to mount the work piece. (See

photos below)

​

Conclusion: Customers may choose to design their own work holding solution. They only purchase

the chuck and the operating pneumatic system from the manufacturer. In a very short time, the

customer was up and running. It was fairy easy to design and build with full support from the PML-

PAL engineering team.
