WAGNER WDC 460 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This CNC power chuck features a **9.84-inch (250mm) chuck size**, engineered for precision workholding in CNC lathe applications. Constructed from high-grade alloy steel, the chuck incorporates hardened and ground sliding surfaces that ensure accurate, vibration-free running and extended durability. The one-piece or multi-jaw configuration delivers strong, stable gripping force, essential for secure clamping of round, hexagonal, or square workpieces. Its wedge design provides a self-locking mechanism that prevents accidental release and maintains gripping power even under heavy cutting loads. The chuck is pneumatically or hydraulically actuated via a rear-mounted cylinder connected by a drawbar through the spindle bore, allowing consistent and adjustable clamping force aligned with the machine’s operating pressure. Compact and balanced for high-speed operation, this chuck supports spindle speeds up to 7,000 RPM, minimizing vibration and enhancing machining accuracy. The base jaws are designed with safety retention to prevent jaw loss in case of breakage, and the chuck accommodates quick jaw changes with options for standard or customized hard and soft jaws to match a variety of component geometries. Its robust construction combined with precise concentricity ensures excellent repeatability and machining efficiency, making it ideal for automated CNC turning centers handling diverse part sizes and materials. The through-bore design allows for efficient bar work, promoting versatility and productivity in complex manufacturing environments.
