• Production mandrels: The workholding group draws on Gleason’s
– Bore size ranges: 17.00-96.00 mm extensive manufacturing resources and the
(.670-3.80") latest CNC machining centers, turning centers
– Accuracy and repeatability of and grinders to help ensure that the quality
0.005 mm (0.0002") T.I.R of our workholding products is the highest in
the industry, as well as meets the increasing
global demand for our products. Even heat
treatment for our workholding components
is done internally at Gleason utilizing the
latest vacuum carburizing systems. This
allows Gleason to control all the critical heat
treat processes that, ultimately, can make the
difference between whether a wear component
has a useful life of 25,000 chucking cycles, or
more than 200,000 chucking cycles.
