Quik Flex®

New Quik-Flex^® ™ Workholding System improves changeover speed, accuracy, flexibility. The Genesis® line of gear production machines were designed as a totally new product — right down to their revolutionary new workholding system called Quik-Flex^®. Given the mission of designing a system that would squeeze precious minutes out of non-productive workpiece changeover time, Gleason engineers invented a system that changes requires none of the typical screws and bolts to tighten or loosen, or tools to find and apply. Instead, special gear and pinion modules with gripping collets fixture the part easily and accurately with just a twist that locks it into the base arbor’s ratcheting mechanism. The modules can be assembled and disassembled in a matter of seconds to accommodate different part sizes and bore diameters. Versions of Quik-Flex is available for a full range of Gleason and non-Gleason machines.
