ER Collet . The "ER" collet system, developed and patented by Swiss manufacturer Rego-Fix in 1972, and standardized as DIN 6499, is the most widely used tool clamping system in the world and today available from many producers worldwide. [7] [8] The standard series are: ER-8, ER-11, ER-16, ER-20, ER-25, ER-32, ER-40, and ER-50. The "ER" name ...

Unlike hand tools, a tool in numerically (digitally) controlled machines is composed of several parts, such as the cutting tool (which may be one piece or comprise a body plus indexable inserts), a collet, and a toolholder with a machine taper. Putting the parts together accurately into an assembly is required to achieve error-free production.
The drawbar pull is an important component that allows the milling machine to keep the tool in place while it’s being used. The force from the drawbar pull supplied to the tool has to be just right because not enough force would cause the tool to wobble leading to inaccuracy, and too much force would apply excessive stress, leading to shorter tool life.
An exception is the ER collet which typically has a working range of 1 mm (about 0.04 in). Collets usually are made to hold cylindrical work, but are available to hold square, hexagonal or octagonal workpieces. While most collets are hardened, "emergency" collets are available that can be machined to special sizes or shapes by the user.
