Research of the Influence of Clamping Forces on the Roundness Deviations of the Pipes Turned Surface

In practice, pipe products are often produced. The surfaces of these components are often turned. The three-jaw chuck is often used to clamp the components for turning. It is a universal clamping fixture. The main advantage of three-jaw chuck is its high flexibility. However, its disadvantage is the inappropriate influence of the clamping forces on the geometrical accuracy of the produced components. This article deals with research of the influence of clamping forces on the roundness of turned pipes. A universal three-jaw chuck was used. The chuck was tightened using a torque wrench. The applied tighten torques were determined by monitoring the commonly used torques for a manually tightened chuck. The article presents the results of experimental research.
