The automation has been introduced in the metal working industry since several decades. It started with bar feeder. Nowadays robots are already standard in complex machining centres for automatic handling of unmachined and machined workpieces.
Since several years we are offering customized workpiece clamping systems which all have one target: the process shortening of complete processing in preferably one setting with adaptive workpiece clamping technology. With pleasure we are modifying the workpiece clamping according to your application. Please contact us!
Workpiece
Thin-walled motor housing made of deep-drawn steel sheet
Requirement
External clamping by elastic diaphragm element. Clamping force adjustable by additional spring element.
Machine connection
Short taper flange KK5 DIN 55026/27
Function
The changeover for different workpieces can be made by changing the clamping jaws and the endstop. The clamping is initiated by the elastic diaphragm element. The clamping force is adjustable by means of an additional spring element. A pneumatic cylinder is releasing the system. The diaphragm chuck principle ensures a high availability and reduces the danger of contamination
Workpiece
Forged hollow drive shaft
Requirement
Internal clamping with high radial transmission force.
Contamination resistant design.
Machine connection
Short taper flange KK6 DIN 55026/27
Function
Hydraulic operated clamping mandrel with spiky toothed horn cheek. Clamping is done by a expanding bolt. A radial spring is pressing the horn cheeks back in the initial position. An accurately fitting of the cheeks reduces the danger of contamination at the moving parts.
Workpiece
Turbine blade for gas turbine
Requirement
Clamping adapter for robot handling. Clamping by external electric screw driver. Contamination resistant design.
Machine connection
HSK 100 DIN 69893 modified
Function
A robot system transports the adapter in the setup station. The dovetailed workpiece is placed in the adapter and clamped by an electric screw driver.
The robot system transports the adapter to the CNC-machine. The adapter is hermetical sealed against contamination.
Workpiece
Thin walled reducing bush
Requirement
Clamping on double spindle NC lathe for 2 side machining. Without pull-in effect, with air sensor, clamping length 140 mm, clamping diameter 94 mm, runout smaller 0.015 mm. Contamination resistant design.
Machine connection
Short taper flange KK6 DIN 55026/27
Function
The chucks is hydraulically clamped wheras the clamping is done by a Rubber-Flex collet. The collet can be quickly changed by bayonet lock system. The clamping process is position neutral. Workpiece position is assured by air sensor. The chuck is sealed against contamination.
