The QUADSYSTEM magnetic chucks are the revolutionary proposal of TECNOMAGNETE for all machining operations on milling machines and machining centres.
They get easily installed on any type of machine, they don't overheat and being insensitive to any possible electrical break-down, they are intrinsically safe.
The "electro-permanent" patented technology used requires the electrical feeding only for few seconds to energize and de-energize the magnetic field, then the connection can be removed while the chuck will keep the workpiece safely clamped.
The workpiece is totally free for the full machining on 5 faces in a single set-up.
Permanent-electro magnetic chucks for turning operations.
The PR/S model is dedicated to grinding and finishing operations.
PR/H version for heavy turning operation.
No machining vibrations - full machining in a single setup.
MDS for Spark erosion :
Permanent-electro magnetic chucks for EDM machines.
It's equipped with dedicated washing channels.
Steel/brass surface for high reliability in time.
Cubotec for horizontal milling :
Now with Cubotec all advantages given by Super-Quad chucks are combined with the flexibility of a system designed for horizontal spindle machine tools.
With Cubotec it's easy to fix pieces with different shape and dimension, as well with surfaces bigger than clamping area, using the full strokes of the machine.
Radial-Pole for turning :

All advantages given by the permanent-electro magnetic chucks combined with the flexibility of a system designed for horizontal spindle machine tools.
With Cubotec it’s easy to fix pieces with different shape and dimension, as well with surfaces bigger than clamping area, using the full strokes of the machine.
Unique characteristics of stability, rigidity and robustness are achieved by the solid block construction made from a solid block of steel.
The subsequent integration of the magnetic circuit Super-Quad into the bee-hiving structure makes it possible to leave neutral zones for an easy positioning of reference pins and stops.
Cubotec is available in 2 different configurations:
C1: 1 face with magnetic surface, the other with T-slots for conventional clamping of a-magnetic material.
C2: with both faces with magnetic surface.

Self-shimming system enables clamping warped-surfaces pieces.
This universal workholding chuck offers maximum effective holding on the widest range of workpiece shapes and sizes. Its effectiveness is considerably enhanced by the new low profile feature, which adds more head room under the wheel. Only 3 1/2" in height, this new low profile interloc is 1 1/8" shallower than the conventional Walker Interloc and a full 1 1/2" less than competitive units of the same type. This savings in height permits greater flexibility with added head room under the wheel to position the work or handle bulkier pieces. This results in savings in set up time and added productivity. It also reduces the chuck weight by 30% or more.
The low profile is achieved with no loss of strength, precision or holding power. With the unique Walker Interloc design, more than 75% of the chuck's surface is major north or south poles, making it easier to locate workpieces without concern for locating poles. There is no wear loss due to the shallower polarity pattern in the replaceable top plate.
The Walker Ceramax is the most widely accepted permanent magnetic chuck in the machine tool industry. In addition to its ease of installation and operation, this patented design offers the highest holding power available on the market. It simplifies complicated set-ups with accurate repeatability.
The Ceramax is extremely versatile and is suitable for many milling applications in addition to general toolroom grinding.
Special Flatness and Parallelism Tolerances available on request
Optional Stainless Steel Construction and Flushing Holes on request
Walker Ceramax Diagram
standard features:
Full magnetic surface to all edges - powerful holding over entire chuck surface
Fine pole divisions - for more uniform magnetic holding of small parts
Solid construction top plate - protects permanent magnetic pack from penetration of EDM fluids. Provides stronger and more rigid work surface
Lowest height of any permanent chuck - for added clearance on larger workpieces
Can be used inverted for holding electrode on ram
Supplied with (2) hold down clamps
Magnetic field does not affect EDM operation
