The ZeroClamp zero point clamping system is the modern alternative to the conventional T-slot table: Drastically reduces the setup times and increases your machine capacity.
Time Needed:
1. Clean the machine table
2. Clean the clamping device contact surfaces
3. Position via the slot nuts
4. Align
5. Fasten with clamping screws
6. Determine the zero points
7. Start the program
8. End the program
Disadvantage:
It is difficult or even impossible to interrupt the process (completely remove the component from the machine table).
→ Machine standstill or workpiece is scrapped.
Time Needed:
1. Clean the machine table (reduced)
2. Clean the clamping device contact surfaces
3. Start the program
4. End the program
Biggest time factor completely omitted!
Benefit:
The process can be interrupted without a problem at any time.
→ Continued machine use.
Highest degree of accuracy
Repeat accuracy of less than 2.5 μm.
Simple logistics
Just one type of clamping stud.
The key benefit
Thermal symmetry.
No tilting
Uncomplicated joining and removing.
One system for the entire process chain
Milling, turning, right up to quality assurance.
Direct clamping of the component onto a base unit. Holes as sockets for the clamping studs are specified at the design stage. Components can be changed quickly and accurately (across all machines).
In the case of turning operations as well, the productivity increases are used to best advantage with pre-balanced base units. Maximum safety with high forces thanks to additional retaining elements.
Functions reliably even under water or in dielectric. The base units are equipped with special drain holes so that the water can escape when the pots are opened.
There are also setup and non-productive times during measuring which can be reduced. Furthermore, the machining process can be interrupted for intermediate measurements on the measuring machine (the clamping studs are not removed for this purpose) before continuing with the process.
Simple assembly with few components and very high repeat accuracy for at least one million cycles!
Pneumatic System:
Only 5.5 bar air pressure is required to release the clamping studs.
Easy to handle from a logistical point of view.
No differentiation between zero pins, floating pins, and free pins
Just one clamping stud type required!
