Edge Technologies 11600 Adie Road St. Louis, MO 63043 Phone: 314-692-8388 Fax: 314-692-5152 email: edgesales@edgetechnologies.com :: edgetechnologies.com Edge Technologies represents the full line of Schlenker collets and guide bushings, including an innovative selection of fully sealed collets made from the finest materials for long, uninterrupted use. Each of these collets are manufactured from steel specifically made for this use and accept polyure- thane inserts that grip the barstock rather than steel as in other collet designs. This design allows the user to cut softer materials without any marks being left on the outside dimension of the final product. These inserts can be manufactured to grip round, square, hex and profiled materials. Schlenker collets and bushings have exceptional and consistent clamping pressures that handle bar inaccuracies and fluctuations with ease. 30 PRODUCTION MACHINING :: JANUARY 2018 Edge introduces the Rebel 80 Servo Unloader, a compact automatic part removal system for gently unloading parts, diameter range of 8 - 80 mm, from the subspindle of single-spindle CNC lathes.
