BTT200 Series

March 01, 2011

Kitagawa-NorthTech Inc. has added the BBT200 series, a two-jaw version of the BB200, to their family of products.

"The BBT200 series solution has been needed for a long time to properly integrate from a BB200 to a two jaw application when necessary, without fluctuating to a larger size chuck," stated Colleen Juhl, Kitagawa-NorthTech Marketing Manager.

This new series maintains the same outer diameter, through hole and max speed as its three jaw BB200 counterparts; ensuring quicker setup times, eliminates higher investments for a larger two-jaw solution, and increases overall productivity and through put.
