Spotlight on Leitz Clamping Systems

In the world of CNC machining and high-precision manufacturing, even the smallest components can make a big impact. One of the most crucial—but often overlooked—factors in tool performance is the clamping system. At Leitz Tooling Systems, we understand that optimal results start at the point where the tool meets the machine.

 

With over 140 years of tooling expertise, Leitz clamping systems deliver the security, reliability, and accuracy needed for high-performance operations across Australia, New Zealand, and globally.

 

Why are High-Quality Clamping Systems Important?

Whether you're cutting wood, composites, or advanced materials, the right clamping system plays a vital role in ensuring:

  • Process stability – Securely held tools reduce vibration and tool movement.
  • Precision & accuracy – Consistent concentricity leads to cleaner cuts and smoother surfaces.
  • Extended tool life – Better clamping = less tool wear and fewer replacements.
  • Efficiency – Easy tool changes minimise downtime and maximise machine uptime.

Without a high-quality tool holder, even the most advanced CNC tool won’t perform at its best.

Take a closer look at our most popular products:

 

NiRo Collet Chuck Premium

Leitz innovative NiRo Collet Chuck premium is constructed with corrosion resistant stainless steel for higher durability. Tool changes can be made quickly and easy while slimmer geometry and higher holding forces mean increased cut quality.

 

Collet Chuck HSK-F63

The HSK-F63 allows exact concentric running through hardened, ground and double slotted collets. Tool changes can be easily done through loosening the ball bearing collet nut.

 

Collet Chuck SK30

The SK30 features a steep taper design without grooves and notches. Featuring exact concentricity, it provides vibration free cutting. Suitable for right and left hand rotation and easy tool changes through ball bearing collet nut.

 

Drill Quick-Clamp Chuck

Leitz Quick-Clamp drill chucks reduces machine downtime with faster drill changes, directly on the machine. The high concentricity of the system enables perfect drill holes.

 

ThermoGrip Shrink Fit Chuck

ThermoGrip shrink fit technology surpasses conventional chucks by using thermal clamping to create a rigid, one-piece connection between the chuck and tool. This results in higher feed rates, increased concentricity and longer tool life.

 

Hydro & Hydro-Duo Clamping Element

With Leitz Hydro-Clamping elements, tools can be mounted centered due to a closed hydraulic system. It can be clamped over 2500 times without loss of accuracy or need for maintenance. The Hydro-Duo fine adjustment feature offers next level precision.
