Filter by Process Zone:
Redesigned Insert Clamp Improves Rigidity
The toolholder for Horn USA’s Supermini grooving and boring tools applies a tensioning wedge to the insert’s face rather than circumference, increasing rigidity and repeatability.
Manual Swing Clamps Provide the Best of Both Worlds
Destaco combined the best features of pneumatic swing clamps and straight line action clamps to create a low-cost workholding option for fixture builders. The manually actuated swing clamps eliminate the need for air.
Stationary Workholding Promotion In Progress
SMW Autoblok’s is reducing the price on numerous premium clamping products. They’re all Proofline sealed to protect against corrosion.
Quick-Change Robotic Arm Gripper
The RV36 Gripper from Kurt Workholding saves space and money while improving efficiency with quick-change, customizable jaws and custom accessories. Its double-acting piston allows for maximum clamping and un-clamping force.
To Balance, Or Not To Balance? Toolholders, That Is
It’s time for machine tool builders and machining companies to shelf the long-standing ISO 1940-1 standard in favor of ISO 16084:2017. Not only is balancing tools rarely necessary, it can also be risky.
Hold on Tight: Fast, Versatile Holding Solution for Welders
Magnetic V-Pad clamps from Industrial Magnetics, Inc. use dual pivoting magnetic heads to hold workpieces at up to 180 degrees. Use them for repetitive applications because set-up and positioning are quick and easy.
Digital 3-D Sensor for Milling and Eroding Machines
Tramming in a workpiece or fixture to a machine, measuring lengths and depths, checking flatness, or aligning workpieces and vise? Haimer USA’s 3-D sensors make locating the edge in XYZ as easy as 1-2-3.
Shrink Fit Machine Heats Chuck Only Where You Want
The Power Clamp Preset NG from Haimer features a new generation coil that adapts to the size of the shrink-fit chuck. With 13 kW power, it’s made for solid-carbide and HSS tools from 3 mm to 32 mm in diameter.
Zero-Point Clamping Clamps Down on Idle Times
Rohm’s Easylock system offers repeatability of less than 5 µm. Its draw bolt system creates a precision interface between the receiver unit and pallet carrier, which can be fitted with vises, stationary lathe chucks, collet chucks and customized fixturing solutions.
Same Show, New Booth – IMTS Update from Haimer USA
Six thousand-square-foot ‘real estate’ will be a dynamic, interactive attendee destination.
Adjustable-Center 5-Axis Vise
Schunk’s Kontec KSX-C power-assisted vise with continuously variable force adjustment ensures a secure hold event with minimal clamping surfaces. Fully encased spindle, drawbar extensions, and large jaw range enable the vise to adapt quickly and easily to any new requirement.
Solid Carbide Milling Cutters for Tool and Mold Making
Along with extremely heat-resistant coatings and special carbide substrates, Mapal’s OptiMill-3D solid carbide milling cutters are characterized by the dimensions and geometries specifically adapted to mold making.
