AUTOGRIP Launches New IS-500 Power Indexing Chuck for Large Workpiece Machining

Built for Large Workpieces and Demanding Machining Conditions
2026/05/19

As manufacturing continues to evolve toward larger workpieces, higher automation, and integrated multi-process machining, the demand for high-rigidity and high-precision workholding solutions is increasing across industries.
AUTOGRIP proudly introduces the new IS-500 Automatic Index Chuck, a high-performance solution specifically developed for large workpiece applications and multi-side machining requirements.
Designed to perform precise indexing during spindle rotation, the IS-500 helps reduce idle time, improve machining efficiency, and optimize production workflows for manufacturers seeking higher productivity and process stability.

Built for Large Workpieces and Demanding Machining Conditions

The IS-500 is engineered to support stable clamping performance under heavy-duty machining environments.

  • 4×90° indexing capability for multi-side machining.
  • Maximum clamping force up to 45.7 kN.
  • Workpiece capacity up to Ø220 mm.
  • High-rigidity structure for large and heavy components.
  • Built-in pressure detection for clamping safety monitoring

​By enabling indexing during spindle rotation, the IS-500 significantly reduces repositioning time and minimizes setup interruptions, helping manufacturers improve machining cycle efficiency.

Precision Manufacturing from Material to Final Assembly

Manufactured in Taiwan, the IS-500 reflects AUTOGRIP’s commitment to precision engineering and production quality.

Premium Material Selection

Critical components are manufactured using high-strength alloy steel to ensure structural stability under high clamping loads.

Heat Treatment & Hardening

Internal sliding and transmission parts undergo strict hardening treatment to improve wear resistance and extend service life.

Precision Grinding

Key mating surfaces are precision-ground to ensure smooth actuation and stable indexing accuracy.

Optimized Lubrication Design

An optimized internal lubrication system helps reduce component wear and maintain long-term operating reliability.

Strict Quality Inspection for Reliable Performance

Every IS-500 undergoes comprehensive inspection before shipment, including:

  • Clamping force verification.
  • Indexing repeatability inspection.
  • Dynamic balancing and rotation testing.
  • Waterproof and chip protection testing

These inspection processes ensure consistent product performance in demanding machining environments.

Supporting Smarter Manufacturing

The IS-500 is ideal for industries requiring efficient machining of large and complex components, including :

  • Automotive – steering joints, transmission components.
  • Energy – valves, fittings, pipe components.
  • Heavy machinery – large structural and mechanical parts.
  • Automation systems – unmanned production lines with robotic integration.

By reducing non-cutting time and supporting multi-side machining in a single setup, the IS-500 provides manufacturers with a more efficient and reliable workholding solution.
