The KONTEC KSC is a multifunctional clamping system is easily adjusted and the design facilitates the assembly of high supporting jaws for 5-axis machining. The clamping module is easy to actuate with a torque wrench and can be aligned on the machine table via longitudinal and transverse slots. It can be easily modified from a centric clamping device to a clamping module with a fixed jaw. The base body is equipped with an integrated coolant groove. To reduce set-up time, the KONTEC KSC can be retrofitted with a SCHUNK UNILOCK quick-change pallet system. The clamping force is 25kN, the jaw width 100mm and the clamping width 292mm, depending on the type of top jaws.
Combined with the SCHUNK power jaw for KONTEC KSC, the clamping force can be increased to 35kN. In addition, the power jaw is the optimum way to clamp workpieces for 5-axis machining because the KSC lifts the part up to provide needed tool clearance. The additional power jaw is ideal for clamping high-strength materials.
Also on display will be the MAGNOS MAU magnetic gripper, the ROTA NCR 6-jaw power chuck, the ROTA NCS sealed 3-jaw power chuck, and the UNILOCK EDB eroding module.
