            The APS zero point clamping system can be used in all operations such as turning, milling,
            measuring, eroding or grinding.  This means users benefit from significantly reduced costs due
            to reduced set-up times while increasing the availability of  machines throughout the production line.

            • To adapt WPS Mini on WPS 080
          • Lowest clamping depth without pre-marking

          • Thanks to the SinterGrip clamping inserts, it is possible to clamp workpieces safe with a clamping
            depth of just 3.5 mm, so the workpiece can be completely machined in a single operation.
            This reduces the cost of materials, particularly where raw material costs considerably influence
            the piece price. SinterGrip also optimizes the performance of the machine and tools: faster cutting
            and feeding speeds mean larger cutting volumes and shorter machining times for each workpiece.

            In addition, production steps required until now, such as workpiece pre-marking, are no longer
            necessary. Eliminating the  pre-marking process reduces investment costs and saves on upstream
            processing costs. Considerable time is also saved as the workpiece, it can be clamped immediately
            by eliminating upstream processes.

            The triangular insert with pyramidal teeth penetrates into the material, creating a positive fit
            between the clamp and the workpiece. The forces and vibrations generated during machining
            are evenly distributed and absorbed.

            SinterGrip comes in 3 different versions for different materials: steel, hardened steel
            (up to 54 HRC)/titanium and aluminium/plastic. SinterGrip is compatible with all commonly
            available types of vices and clamping devices.

            • Lowest clamping depth only 3.5 mm
            • No pre-marking necessary
            • Highest forces and active vibration absorption
            • Increasing of the cutting forces compared to other systems
          • GT5 5-Axis Machine Tools

          • 5-Axis Machine Tools ensures the following advantages:

          • GTO – Precise, universal stationary chuck for collets

          • The GTO stationary chuck for standard collets is particularly impressive, above all due to its high
            gripping force, accuracy and rigidity.

            Lateral bearing surfaces also allow the chuck to be mounted vertically or horizontally. Profitability
            is increased due to considerably reduced set-up times since collets can be changed very quickly.

            Thanks to its extremely compact design, the GTO is ideal for 5-axis machining.

            • Rapid and easy mounting

            In addition, two  different jaw strokes are available: a standard stroke for maximum clamping forces
            and a long stroke for extended jaw strokes. The highly compact power vices make it possible to
            determine the jaw position and control the  workpiece support (SL type). This makes them ideal
            for automation or for Industry 4.0 applications.

            • Minimum interference due to the compact design

            standard and are available with diameters ranging from 160 to 1000 mm. The quick jaw
            change system significantly reduces set-up times. The wedge bar design guarantees the 
            highest precision and accuracy.

            The new generation HG-2G is mechanically sealed and low-maintenance. The sealing protects
            the guideways and inside of the chuck against dirt. The HG-2G's optimized innovative
            lubrication system guarantees a constant clamping force and reduces maintenance intervals.
            The HG-2G manual chucks are available in sizes ranging from 400 to 630 mm
            (additional sizes available on request).

            PTF 4-jaw faceplates are suitable for clamping round, square or irregular workpieces.
            Each individual jaw can be set radially by hand. Clamping forces can be increased many
            times over through the use of a torque multiplier. The PTF faceplates are also sealed and
            therefore resistant to dirt. PTF faceplates are available with diameters ranging from
            1000 to 2000 mm.
