Modular clamping system

With the modular system, the basic clamping device remains mounted on the machine and simultaneously serves as an interface for other clamping devices. Whether for I.D. or O.D. clamping, saw cuts or bar work, the pull-back effect of the mounted add-on clamping elements enables solid clamping with optimum characteristics, such as high rigidity, vibration reduction, and maximum metal removal rates.

The modular principle delivers application diversity that is said to minimise set-up times and decrease production downtime. The jaw module came to reality to make this modular system usable for smaller quantities and material dimensions up to a diameter of 200mm. Together with the Toplus or a Spanntop chuck, the modular system become a clamping solution for all situations. 

Mandrels and clamping heads can also be used in the basic unit. The new jaw module completes the circle and leads in a new clamping dimension that opens up even more possibilities for users. With less weight and a smaller interference contour, Hainbuch is offering a 3in1combination of I.D. clamping, O.D. clamping and jaw clamping.

With the new member of the family, the face driver adaption this is not a problem. This clever innovation can machine a workpiece over its entire length and re-clamping is not necessary. Firstly, this increases concentric precision, secondly, the formal and position tolerances 'stabilise', and thirdly, the face driver adaption is also assembled in no time at all. The carbide pins dig into the end face of the shaft and transmit the torque. The advantages are very clear, high accuracy due to machining in one clamping set-up. Simply insert it in the clamping device and tighten the three screws. The Centrex interface ensures the perfect concentricity. The second practical clamping innovation that Hainbuch has recently added to the product range is the Morse taper adaption (MK4).
