Indiana-based Speedgrip Chuck Company has been awarded a $200,000 Manufacturing Readiness Grant by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) to boost the company’s investment in advanced manufacturing technology and products.

Dillon Manufacturing’s capabilities to manufacture special top jaws that securely grip any workpiece are detailed in a new full-color 4-page Special Jaws brochure. Virtually any jaw dimension can be modified, including extra wide jaws for maximum part contact and penetration, jaws with several diameters to hold multiple surfaces, extended length jaws to grip small to medium diameters, jaws to mirror the ID of the workpiece, and more. 

Dillon Chucks and Jaws presents their HPG500, a premium boundary lubricant that is water resistant, environmentally friendly, and prevents metal-to-metal contact under high load and slow speed conditions.  It is available in a convenient grease kit, containing 2 tubes of grease, a grease adaptor, and a grease gun to provide out-of-the-box functionality.

Speedgrip Chuck Company, a portfolio company of Stratford-Cambridge Group, appointed Matthew Mayer as the President of the company in September 2022. Mayer has three decades of professional experience in the manufacturing industry including executive leadership roles. Strategically selected for his knowledge of OEM workholding operations, sales, machining and assembly of machine tool products, Mayer is leveraging his expertise to expand Speedgrip’s position in the market.

Soft jaw blanks from Dillon Jaws feature a milled surface on the jaw end, opposite to the clamping surface, which serves as an easy-locating feature. 

Dillon Manufacturing’s Claw Jaws have an optimized contour which provides a secure grip on the workpiece, and the jaws weight, center of gravity and cutting forces combine to minimize jaw clamping force loss.

Electric vehicles or EVs are increasingly popular options for people who want to save money on gas and decrease their reliance on fossil fuels.

The variable machining of turned parts has never been easier. This is made possible with Duro-M, the new geared scroll chuck, innovative lens geometry and optimized power transmission by Röhm.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of a revolutionary invention that changed the way today’s manufacturers hold metalworking cutting tools. What has been an industry standard for decades now, the Rego-Fix ER collet is the most widely used clamping system in the world and still produced at the company’s Tenniken, Switzerland, plant.
