The principal is simple: The inner collet is screwed into the outer collet using a special key. The key compresses the collet segments, disengaging the inner collet from its locking position. A marking on the inner collet, when screwed in, indicates on a scale on the outer collet the approximate feed force set. Pulling the key off from the inner collet will release the collet segments to slide back to their locking position. RS-feed finger, with adjustable feed force should always be included in today’s modern repetition workshop. The challenges and requirements in terms of high feed rate, high spindle speed, different materials and high production reliability cannot be obtained without a flexible gripping system. The adjustable feed finger system provides economical advantages.

Features and Benefits

• The feedforce is adjusted to needed value and minimises wear
• Feed marks can be eliminated by reducing the force setting.
• The contact is on the entire surface of the bar in the clamping area.
• The feeding of material is easier and has less wear on the machine components.
• The bar chamfering process can be obsolete.
• Reduced feed finger stock as one feed finger fits many machine tool brands.
• Each calibration mark represents an increase of feed force.
• Available with plastic, ceramic, or carbide coatings for greater surface control.
