ZERO POINT CLAMPING SYSTEMS.
A zero-point clamping system mounted on the table of a machining center clamps pallets and workpieces precisely and repeatably. The zero-point clamping system enables the workpieces to be positioned quickly and accurately, which improves the efficiency and accuracy of the production process. A zero-point clamping system must be used in automated operation. But it also significantly reduces set-up times in manual operation.
Depending on the machine and machine table, we have many different systems in use. Let us advise you! Below are three examples.
Increased production flexibility and a MUST for automated production
CROSS-MACHINE USE
Zero-point clamping system with four opening clamping inserts for holding carrier plates and workpieces. Also available with 2-fold media feed-through for holding pre-pallets.
The zero-point clamping system (320 mm x 320 mm) consists of a base plate made of nickel-plated steel. Four clamping inserts are inserted into this base plate. Optionally with centric connection to 2-flow pneumatic rotary feed-through. A pneumatic vice can be operated via this rotary feed-through. The base plate is attached to the machine table.
Compact and powerful
HIGH POSITIONING ACCURACY
The zero-point clamping system (235 mm x 235 mm) consists of a base plate made of nickel-plated steel. Four opening clamping inserts are inserted into this base plate to hold carrier plates and workpieces. The base plate is attached to the machine table. The zero point clamping system is also available with a 2-fold media feed-through for holding pre-pallets. Optionally with centric connection to 2-flow pneumatic rotary feed-through. A pneumatic vice can be operated via this rotary feed-through.
Improved efficiency
OPTIMIZATION OF TOTAL OPERATING COSTS
Pneumatically or hydraulically controlled zero-point clamping system with two clamping inserts for holding carrier plates and workpieces. The zero-point clamping system consists of a nickel-plated steel base plate. The clamping plate is attached to the machine table.
FAQ - Your questions, our answers
What is a zero-point clamping system?
A zero-point clamping system is mounted on the table of a machining center and is used to clamp pallets and workpieces precisely and with repeat accuracy. It enables workpieces to be positioned quickly and accurately.
Why is a zero-point clamping system important?
A zero-point clamping system improves the efficiency and accuracy of the production process by positioning workpieces quickly and accurately. It is essential in automated operation, but it also significantly reduces set-up times in manual operation.
Is a zero-point clamping system necessary for automated production?
Yes, a zero-point clamping system is a must for automated production, as it enables increased production flexibility..
Can a zero-point clamping system be used for different machines?
Yes, there are different systems for different machines and machine tables. One example is a system that is designed for cross-machine use.
What components can be included in a zero point clamping system?
A zero point clamping system can consist of a base plate made of nickel-plated steel and clamping inserts for holding carrier plates and workpieces. Optional media feed-throughs for pre-pallets or a centric connection to a pneumatic rotary feed-through are possible.
What advantages do zero-point clamping systems offer in terms of accuracy and efficiency?
Zero-point clamping systems offer high positioning accuracy and contribute to improved efficiency and optimization of the total cost of ownership. They are characterized by precision, efficiency and flexibility.
Are there accessories or options for zero point clamping systems?
Yes, there are various accessories and options such as shuttle carriages (for quick changeover between automation and manual operation) and automatic doors (for retrofitting or automating existing doors for loading).
