Workholding systems on show
26 February 2018
On Stand H19-120 at MACH 2018 (9th to 13th April, NEC, Birmingham),Hainbuch will be introducing a host of new technologies alongside established product lines . With flexibility, minimal interference contour and precision levels all being key factors for the modern workholding solution, Hainbuch will be demonstrating these attributes in its new range of TOPlus and SPANNTOP mini chucks.
Hainbuch says the new modular mini chucks will bring a new era of compatibility and flexibility for customers buying this modular system. The workholding specialist has also developed the SPANNTOP mini chuck to make it compatible with an adapter ring in order to use the new modular system. The MANDO Adapt mandrel and corresponding jaw module already work efficiently with the new SPANNTOP mini.
Unlike the SPANNTOP mini chuck, the configuration for the TOPlus system is a little different. Whereas the SPANNTOP uses an adaptor ring, the TOPlus system has a ring of attachment holes to secure the jaw module. At MACH 2018, Hainbuch will be introducing a new MANDO Adapt series of adapters that will also work in harmony with its TOPlus system.
The SPANNTOP and TOPlus Mini Series are offered with a full through-bore plus a variety of standard lengths to suit all machine types and drawtube configurations. For the customer, this exciting new range of possibilities gives maximum flexibility with O.D. clamping via the clamping head and I.D. clamping with the mandrel adapting MANDO Adapt system whilst complete jaw clamping can be accommodated with the new jaw adapting module.
Making a MACH exhibition debut will be the new Magnet Module. This new concept has been developed for the processing of complicated components or thin walled parts. Designed and developed with Neodymium 'Super Strength' magnets, the new Magnet Modules are compatible with standard Hainbuch workholding chucks, such as the extremely popular TOPlus and SPANNTOP systems.
With just a single screw that activates the magnet, the new Magnet Module provides ease of use and very fast clamp and un-clamping times. Incorporating a magnet on/off operation screw and super strength magnets that provide a maximum holding force of up to 140 N/cm², the Hainbuch Magnet Module is a flexible and robust system.
Suitable for use with the Hainbuch range of 'pull-back' clamping devices, the Magnet Modules can be set-up in the machine tool in less than 30s. The Hainbuch Magnet Module also delivers a positional change over accuracy of 2μm.
