Beyond the standard 3-jaw chuck, this system can be configured to support alternate workholding approaches that better match your specimen blank, especially when you are trying to hold multiple parts or stabilize longer stock for consistent round tensile specimen preparation.
For higher throughput, a triple clamping fixture can be used to prepare multiple samples in a single setup, which helps reduce changeovers when you are running repeated geometries.
For longer or more flexible blanks, tailstock-assisted support is also a common approach. The machine includes an MT2 tailstock taper, and the spindle has an MT4 taper and a through-bore, which can influence how you choose to support and locate your starting stock.
