Top Tools: More than Vises



There are several options available for top tools that are compatible with the Mate 52- and 96-Series DynoLock™ bases, in addition to self-centering vises. For instance, Mate recently launched our ER collet chucks and top pallets.

Round Parts Are No Problem with ER Collet Chucks

Our ER collet chucks provide a straightforward solution for securing round parts and bar stock in 4- and 5-axis vertical and horizontal machining centers. They can accommodate workpiece diameters ranging from 2 to 32mm and feature the same tool steel construction as the rest of the Mate workholding line, ensuring best-in-class rigidity and longevity.

Configure Top Pallets With Ease

Mate top pallets are available in four different sizes, offering a wide range of options to meet your specific needs. They are designed as blank slates to allow customers to configure them according to their application requirements. Additionally, Mate top pallets also feature optional removable handles for easy and ergonomic loading and unloading.

By utilizing the complete range of Mate DynoGrip top tools, including self-centering vises, ER collet chucks and top pallets, with Mate DynoLock bases you can achieve superior repeatability, reduce set-up and changeover time, and create a truly modular workholding set-up capable of accommodating a wide range of parts. The Mate modular, quick-change, workholding system keeps you in the cut for longer and improves productivity.
