Parlec, a member of Techniks Tool Group, has released the P3 ER collet system, the first coated ER collet system according to the company. Parlec P3 ER collets feature an anti-friction coating on the 30° face of the collet that interfaces with the collet nut when tightening during tool setup. According to Parlec, the anti-friction coating reduces radial distortion, helping improve run-out. Parlec P3 ER collets have a repeatably accuracy of 0.0001" and, as a result of their slotting design, are sealed for coolant pressures up to 2,000 psi.
Parlec P3 ER collets are available in ER11, 16, 20, 25, 32 and 40 in inch and metric sizes and are meant to be used with on-size tooling. P3 ER collets may be used in any ER collet chuck to improve accuracy and cutting performance.
