Techniks 23656 Collet Chuck Sbl CAT40 4 Inch Projection

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 23656 is a SBL collet chuck with a CAT40 taper shank, designed for use in CNC machining centers and milling applications. It accepts SBL6 series collets and provides a 4-inch projection from the spindle face, with an overall length of 6.68 inches. Collet capacity ranges from 3/32 inch minimum to 1/4 inch maximum, making it suitable for smaller-diameter end mills, drills, and reamers. The taper shank provides secure, repeatable tool holding in standard CAT40 spindle interfaces. Machinists and tool crib technicians handling CNC setup and tooling configuration are the primary users of this chuck.

This collet chuck is used in production and job shop environments running CAT40-spindle CNC vertical or horizontal machining centers. The 4-inch projection suits applications where additional reach is needed to clear workpiece features or fixture components. The SBL6 collet series it accepts is a straight-bore, low-profile collet style suited to light to moderate cutting loads on small-diameter tooling. It is a practical choice for facilities standardizing on CAT40 tooling systems that require extended reach without sacrificing rigidity at the spindle interface.

Key Features

• CAT40 taper shank for direct mounting in standard CAT40 spindle interfaces
• SBL6 collet series compatibility for secure small-diameter tool holding
• 4-inch projection for extended reach past workpiece features or fixtures
• Collet capacity range of 3/32 inch to 1/4 inch covering common small tool shank sizes
• Overall length of 6.68 inches for consistent tool-length offset management

Compatibility

Designed for use with SBL6 series collets in CAT40-spindle CNC machining centers. Compatible with tooling systems accepting SBL collet style with collet capacities between 3/32 inch and 1/4 inch.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician following the machine tool builder's spindle and toolholder procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before installing or removing the chuck. Use the appropriate CAT40 pull stud and torque the retention knob per the machine manufacturer's specification. Inspect the taper shank and spindle bore for debris or damage before seating the chuck to ensure proper contact and runout performance.
