A new addition to the modular system family: the 2-jaw module

WORKHOLDING TECHNOLOGY

Maximum flexibility for machining a wide range of parts and small quantities is not just wishful thinking, with the HAINBUCH modular system it becomes reality. HAINBUCH is constantly adding to its modular system so that users can always find the optimum solution for every clamping situation. One thing was still missing, an adaptation for clamping cubic parts, and for this there is the 2-jaw module.

The modular system: designed for maximum flexibility

Round workpieces are clamped externally with classic clamping heads. But when these reach their limits, because a larger diameter of the workpiece needs to be clamped, then the 3-jaw module is used. And for cubic parts, the 2-jaw module is used for centric clamping in machining centers and milling machines. The basic unit into which the jaw module is inserted is a Hainbuch chuck or vice. Modules can be exchanged without changing the clamping device and, thanks to the integrated Centrex quick-change interface, no alignment is needed.

Advantages of the 2-jaw module:

  • In just two minutes, it is possible to change-over from O.D. clamping to centric clamping.
  • The 2-jaw module can even be used at speeds of up to 1,500 rpm.
  • Due to its small, lightweight design it is the perfect alternative to a large and heavy centric clamping device.
