CFK TOPlus and SPANNTOP chuck made of carbon fiber

TOPlus / SPANNTOP chuck made of carbon fiber

Your benefit

  • Power-operated, lightweight clamping devices for better productivity and more economical for the series production
  • As much as 70 % lighter than the standard steel version, thus protecting the machine components
  • Better machine dynamics due to significantly lower mass moment of inertia
  • Increased productivity through faster acceleration / decelaration of the machine spindle
  • Reduced energy costs
SPANNTOP 2x2 chuck

SPANNTOP 2x2 chuck

Your benefit

  • Secure clamping of rectangular / square profiles with uniform transmission of clamping force from all 4 sides
  • „„Tolerance compensation ± 1.0 mm in width and height
  • „„Standard clamping heads can be used for clamping round material as well
  • „„Rigid clamping from 4 sides

Savings

  • Clamping time ist reduced by approx. 10 %
  • Tool life is extended by 5 %

Results / customer benefits

  • Better workpiece surfaces in every machining plane
  • Higher feed rates

Challenge

Workpiece: Tool holder
Clamping task: 4-sided clamping from the outside
Machining: Milling of the shank and of the head

  • Better workpiece surface
  • More rigid clamping

Workpiece

Solution

Shaft chuck

Shaft chuck

Your benefit

  • For roughing operations, shafts are clamped with extreme rigidity by the clamping head
  • „„Clamping between centers with the integrated face driver ensures a run-out under 5 μm for finish machining

Savings

  • 2 clamping set-ups reduced to only one set-up
  • The workpiece is produced approx. 8 % faster and though saving process time

Results / customer benefits

  • Higher speeds and feed rates thanks to extremely forceful clamping
  • Run-outs between centers are achieved with process reliability

Challenge

Workpiece: Thin shaft
Clamping task: With clamping head and between centers
Machining: Roughing and finish machining in a single process

  • Finishing between centers
  • Highest concentricity between centers

Workpiece

Solution

TALEMENT chuck

TALEMENT chuck

Your benefit

  • Almost deformation-free clamping of thin-walled workpieces
  • „„Major formal defects are compensated
  • „„Air actuation
  • „„Can be combined with powerful actuation of the clamping head

Savings

  • Elimination of the work cycle »hard turning of the bell outer Ø« | Savings: approx. 25 seconds per part
  • Increased tool life from 800 to 1,200 workpieces | Savings: approx 30 % of tool costs

Results / customer benefits

  • After hardening, the workpiece remains unmachined on the support surface
  • One complete manufacturing process is eliminated

Challenge

Workpiece: CV joint
Clamping task: O.D. clamping
Machining: Hard machining

  • Rigid support at the machining point
  • Position errors of the axis of clamping relative to the support axis are compensated
  • Form-compensating support

Solution

Segmented clamping bushing chuck

Segmented clamping bushing chuck

Your benefit

  • Segmented clamping bushing chuck with balance compensation for significantly unbalanced workpieces

  • „High dimensional tolerance compensation on the blanks

Savings

  • Manufacturing with process reliability
  • „„Scrap reduced to »0«

Results / customer benefits

  • Thanks to the enclosing clamping device the workpiece remains securely in the clamped position in spite of high RPM
  • „„Highest clamping forces
  • „„Large radial clamping strokes

Challenge

Workpiece: Casting
Clamping task: O.D. clamping of a blank
Machining: Turning and drilling

  • Centrifugally stable clamping even at high RPM
  • Integrated balancing system

Workpiece

Solution

2x2 bolt chuck centric clamping

2x2 bolt chuck, centric clamping

Your benefit

  • Bolt chuck for raw part centering of a rectangular profile in both axes
  • „„Chip-proof clamping device for mass production

Savings

  • The inexpensive pre-process remains the same
  • „„Easy handling of the finished part for further processing thanks to extremely precise symmetry on the component

Results / customer benefits

  • Low-maintenance clamping device
  • „„Stable and rigid clamping
  • „„Different profiles can be set-up easily

Challenge

Workpiece: Fork-head
Clamping task: O.D. clamping
Machining: Turning

  • Compensation of the blank tolerances of 1.5 mm in both clamping directions
  • „„Interrupted cut during turning
