Walker invented the first magnetic workholding chuck back in 1896. The benefits are obvious: Magnetic chucks offer a reliable solution for fabricators who want to grind or mill steel workpieces without damage that can come from mechanical clamping and chuck devices. A Commitment to Precision and Quality Walker engineers and manufactures the highest quality electromagnetic, electro-permanent, and permanent magnetic workholding chucks for grinding, machining, milling, turning, EDM, and molding applications. We also offer special chuck designs to meet our customers’ unique application needs. Grinding Chucks LBP Electromagnetic chuck suitable for both grinding and EDM operations. C-2 Fine division permanent chuck suitable for both grinding and EDM operations. INTERLOC Universal low-profile workholding chuck that offers maximum effective holding on the widest range of workpiece shapes and sizes. NEOMICRO Permanent magnetic micro pitch design chucks that are ideal for reliable clamping of very thin and small components for precision grinding. It holds large workpieces as well. TBP Transverse bar pole chucks specially designed for smaller, thinner workpieces and tool steel. Rotary Chucks NEOSTAR Permanent rotary magnetic chucks that have a radial pole design with neodymium (rare earth) magnet for holding rings and bearing races, as well as solid rounds. MULTI-POLE ROTARY CHUCK Rotary electromagnetic and electro-permanent chucks are made in radial pole multi-coil design for use in hard turning and free state grinding. The radial pole design is recommended for holding circular workpieces such as rings and discs. Milling Chucks TURBOMILL Electro-permanent magnetic workholding chucks designed for light to heavy milling applications. NEOMILL Permanent magnetic chucks are designed using neodymium magnets for milling applications. Electromagnetic Chuck Controls SMART-B SERIES Automatic release chuck control.
