Why are Albrecht Drill Chucks so accurate?

• In-process gages are used to check all components at each stage of the manufacturing process. Air gages and custom test fixtures are widely employed in our factory.
• Upon assembly, each chuck is qualified with 4-6 different diameter test pins at two distinct locations on each pin.
• A quality control inspector repeats this process with 4-6 different test pins before approving the chuck for packaging.

Why is accuracy so important?

• Precision hole sizing. Chucks which have excessive runout cause drills to wobble, resulting in oversized holes. Suppose you are producing a part which calls out for a drilled and reamed hole. If the drill runs out, an oversized hole will be created and the reaming tolerance could be used up. An error like this often costs more than the price of an Albrecht Drill Chuck.
• Longer drill life. Because Albrecht Chucks are extremely accurate, drills are subjected to uniform wear, resulting in longer drill life.

When you receive an Albrecht Chuck you can be sure that you are getting the best chuck money can buy!
