Mandrels - Collapsible
Cantilever and Head/Tailstock supported mandrels are available. Pneumatic collapsible mechanism provides quick part separation from the mandrel.
- Description
Standard mandrels are designed to your particular specifications and many include any diameter or length that can be shipped legally from our factory. For mandrels 24 inches and above, the mandrels have a quick release air powered collapsing shell with special peeling action that makes separation of the part quick and easy. A single break line with close fitting machine cut allows parting film to bridge the crack without the usual additional prepping of the mold. This allows a part that appears to be made on machined and ground molds.
The mandrels are constructed by assembling water jet cut ribs on the center shaft. The final OD of the ribs are then machined and ground to the required OD. After this the sheet metal skin is applied and painted. The outer skin is .125 inch thick.
