Genevieve Swiss Industries, Inc. (Westfield, MA) makes the EZR Swiss Clamp System for fast and positive ER collet clamping with increased torque. This EZR system eliminates wrench slippage and losing clamping nuts in the machine sump or chip bin, keeps machine operator hands clear of sharp tooling, prevents accidental breakage of expensive ID micro-tooling and permits achieving proper torque settings.
The Swiss clamp nuts replace standard Mini-Nuts and can be tightened using standard box wrenches or a 3/8 in drive ratchet wrench with either the EZR wrench adapter or the EZR torque adapter designed for greater clearance areas. Both adapters engage and lock to the clamping nut with a specialized cam system on the face to deliver positive torque to the nut while eliminating slipping on the wrench. This also ensures the nut does not drop into the machine sump.
The EZR system is packaged as a kit that includes six EZR Swiss clamp nuts, one EZR wrench adaptor, one EZR torque nut adaptor and a spanner wrench.
