Automated clamping head and workpiece stop change

• Standardized, cost-effective automation components that have been tried and tested over decades and can be used by the automation provider
• Operator-free r&d and production of different clamping diameters and chuck depths
• robust mechanics ensure smooth automated set-up processes using a robot or gantry
• available in TOPlus and SPANNTOP versions
• can also be used with machining centers and vertical lathes

Did you know that the classic manual clamping head change can also be carried out automatically using a robot, gantry or directly with the machine spindle? The great thing about this is that the workpiece stop is set up at the same time. Because setting a new workpiece diameter without a suitable stop depth would only be an incomplete set-up process.

The solution with a robot or gantry:

The robot gripper in the form of a pneumatic changing device removes the appropriate clamping head, including the workpiece, from the set-up magazine. The robot gripper in the form of a pneumatic changing device removes the appropriate clamping head including workpiece stop for the next workpiece to be machined and reliably sets up the chuck within seconds. Thanks to our sophisticated chuck mechanics, the workpiece to be machined can be clamped and machined immediately after the set-up process. The automation effort is minimal, but the machine flexibility is enormous. Translated with DeepL
