Discover How MaxxMagnum Pneumatic Chucks Work

Published on: 26. Nov 2024

When precision, durability, and strength meet, the result is the MaxxMagnum Pneumatic Chuck – a versatile workholding solution designed to elevate machining performance. Fully assembled and ready to use, these chucks are 100% cross-compatible with the System 3R Macro OEM system, making them ideal for demanding machining applications.

What Sets MaxxMagnum Apart?

The MaxxMagnum system is a larger, more robust variant of the MaxxMacro system. Its high clamping force and reference surfaces positioned farther from the chuck center ensure “Macro class” stability and accuracy, even under high machining forces. This makes it the perfect solution for applications requiring exceptional rigidity and precision.

Additionally, the double references of the MaxxMagnum chucks allow compatibility with both MacroMagnum and the extensive range of Macro pallets, providing unmatched versatility.

The Power of Pneumatics

MaxxMagnum Pneumatic Chucks are equipped with pneumatic ports that maximize functionality and efficiency:

• Clamp/Unclamp (Normally Closed): Applies air to open the chuck, providing secure and reliable workholding.
• Turbo Lock (available on select models): Enhances clamping force, perfect for high-demand tasks.
• Z Air-Blast Cleaning: Clears Z-pads with an air blast when opening the chuck, ensuring clean and accurate references.

These chucks operate optimally with 6 ± 1 bar of air pressure, ensuring smooth performance and robust reliability.

Key Advantages of MaxxMagnum Pneumatic Chucks

• Repetition Accuracy: Within 0.002 mm (0.00008”)
• Locking Force: Up to 16,000 N
• Fixed Index Positions: 4 x 90° for precise pallet alignment
• High Compatibility: Works seamlessly with MacroMagnum pallets and Macro pallets.
• Variety of Mounting Plates: Includes options for 5-axis machining, such as adapters for rotational shafts, enhancing flexibility for diverse applications.

Whether you're looking for enhanced clamping force, precision alignment, or compatibility with various pallets and mounting configurations, MaxxMagnum Pneumatic Chucks deliver exceptional performance tailored to your needs.

Upgrade your machining setup with MaxxMagnum Pneumatic Chucks and experience superior stability, accuracy, and versatility.

The 2024 SKU Update for Enhanced Clarity and Compatibility

Published on: 8. Nov 2024

At MaxxTooling, we're always looking for ways to improve your experience with our products and services. This year, we introduced a major update to our SKU system, designed to simplify product identification, improve inventory management, and enhance your overall experience. Here’s what this new system brings to the table—and how it benefits you.

What is a SKU? A SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique identifier used to track a product in inventory and make it easy to identify.

Why Did We Update the SKU System?

As our product family expands, we needed a improved SKU system that would deliver the following benefits:

1. Consistency and Clarity: SKUs now follow a single, well-defined rule, making them easier to read and understand.
2. Family and Product Matching: Each SKU reflects its product family, allowing you to identify compatible items more easily.
3. Support for Future Growth: The new format makes it simple to accommodate new product introductions, family expansions, and variations.
4. Integration with Adapter Plates and Custom Products: The revised structure also allows for easier integration of adapter plate codes, optional parts, and other customization options.
5. Better ERP and Spreadsheet Integration: Standardized SKUs streamline data entry, making it easier to integrate with ERP systems, spreadsheets, and custom properties.

What Does the New SKU Format Look Like?

Our SKUs now follow a standardized, informative structure:

MX-XXXXMSSS(-O-CODE)

Here’s what each section means:

• Prefix (MX/MM): Identifies MaxxTooling or MaxxMacro as the source, with additional prefixes planned for future products.
• Family Code (XXXX): A four-character code indicating the product family.
• Material Code (M): One character indicating the material.
• Size Code (SSS): Three digits denoting the product’s size or model.
• Optional Code (O): A single character used for optional features, such as performance enhancements, index-disabled features, MXRefix systems, etc.
• Adaptation Code (-CODE): Optional codes for adapter plates, machine-specific modifications, or client custom modifications.

Revision Dates and Compatibility Page

The SKU update process has occurred gradually over the year, with different products receiving updates at different times. Each updated SKU has a specific Revision Date that you can check to ensure compatibility with your needs.

To make this transition easier, we’ve created a dedicated SKU Compatibility Page, where you can:

• Look up compatibility between old and new SKU formats
• Check revision dates for each product
• Access the latest product pages for detailed specifications

New Laser Markings for Improved Operator Experience

Along with our SKU system update, we’ve also made a significant improvement to the way we laser engrave our products. All of our items now feature new, detailed laser markings that provide essential product information directly on the part. This includes data such as ports, maximum torque values, and other key specifications. These updates make it easier for operators to quickly identify important features, improving workflow efficiency and reducing the chance of errors. The enhanced laser markings are part of our ongoing commitment to making your experience with our products as seamless and efficient as possible.

Our Commitment to Continual Improvement

Updating our SKU system is just the beginning. As we continue expanding and enhancing our product offerings, we’ll keep refining this system to support future growth and product variations. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to select, track, and integrate our products into your workflows.

Thank you for choosing MaxxTooling as your workholding partner. Please explore our SKU Compatibility Page for more information, or feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
