Collet Housing Parameters

You can define parameters of a collet housing so you can visualize it while programming a part. It helps you to define the geometry of the collet housing directly in the graphics area.

In the Collet Parameters dialog box, under Collet Housing Parameters, specify options:
Option Description
Collet Housing Diameter Specifies the largest diameter for the collet housing.
Collet Housing Length Specifies the overall length of the collet housing.
Minor Diameter Specifies the diameter of the front part of the collet housing.
Collar Length Specifies the length of the front part of the collet housing.

You can save default collet housing parameters in the Technology Database (TechDB™). In TechDB, on the Turn Tooling tab, under Collet Housing Parameters, specify values.
