Electromechanical centering clamps offer the advantage over hydraulically or pneumatically operated self-centering machine vises of effectively reducing energy consumption during the clamping process.
Only when closing, opening or regulatingthe required clamping force, the electromechanical centering vise consumes energy.
Electromechanical centeric clamps are self-locking, so the workpieces to be machined are clamped securely even if the drive system fails. Furthermore, electromechanical centeric clamps can be programmed so that the clamping force increases or decreases depending on the type of workpiece machining. For example, a delicate workpiece can be securely fixed with maximum clamping force without deformation taking place. Maintenance costs incurred by hydraulic or pneumatic drives are eliminated and operational safety is increased, since there is no danger of leaking hydraulic oil, for example.
Electromechanical centre-clamping vises are suitable for both workpiece automation and pallet automation.
Due to the electric operation of this centre-clamping
vise series the clamping process can be shortened or
completely automated by the use of industrial robots.
Energy-efficient production – that is the trend in
mechanical engineering. To optimize the manufacturing
environment it is seeked to replace fluid-driven components within the machine tool or production system
by electromechanical components. Electromechanical
components are more energy efficient than pneumatically or hydraulically operated systems. In the field
of workpiece clamping technology electrically driven
compressors or aggregates had to generate so far air
or oil pressure continuously to hold or clamp workpieces during machining securely. Electromechanical
centre-clamping vises require only energy when fixing
or loosening the workpiece. Pneumatic and hydraulic
clamping technology is still justified, however, electromechanical systems open up opportunities, which can
bring the user significant advantages.
