Witte Round Grid Type Chucks
Custom Witte Round Grid Type Chuck Design Options
To successfully provide a vacuum source to the rotating chuck, Witte offers a complete series of vacuum rotary unions. The rotary union is connected to the chuck at the center by a plastic tube, and supplies vacuum without losses at the chuck as it rotates up to 3,500 RPM. The round grid type chuck can be combined with adapter plates for dedicated vacuum fixtures, as well as finely gridded chucks for small parts applications.
The Witte Round Grid vacuum chuck is available in sizes from small (150 mm) up to over 800 mm in diameter. Special sizes and configurations are also available.
