Abstract:
Expanding Collets are extensively used to hold the workpieces with circular features. Due to the shape
and narrow tolerances, designs of such collets are always challenging. The paper represents process of dimensional design of a single sided expanding collet. This collet is for rotary VMC fixture. The collet
not only just designed but also manufactured. The paper shows implementation of technological concepts for a live industry component which will really help a collet designer to design such kind of collets. The
design is carried out using PTC Creo Parametric 3.0 and AutoCAD 2016. Finite element Analysis is carried out with Creo Simulation.
