San Antonio, Florida – EXSYS Tool Inc., is offering the pL LEHMANN swissClamp modular clamping system. This system allows operators to mount multiple work pieces on machine tool tables for uninterrupted production and unmanned operations.
For use with rotary and standard tables on vertical or horizontal milling machines, swissClamp modules mount on face plates or directly on worktables. The system extends a shop’s potential part-clamping range from 90mm to 200mm – a 40% increase in work piece capacity within the same clamping length.
swissClamp’s four basic modules enable more than 240 possible configurations, including both mono clamping, requiring only one basic body, and duo clamping, where two mono clamps are mounted opposite one another. Configuration options include creating a clamping tower/tombstone on a fourth axis, a horizontal clamping cone that is overhung or with counter bearing, or a clamping bridge on a trunnion table set up where both sides require a different design with mono and duo systems. Operators can also create clamping modules on the fourth or fifth axis.
For mass production applications in automotive, aerospace, medical/dental, and micro technology industries, swissClamp is suitable for either strong gripping or light finish clamping applications. For strong gripping, the system achieves rigid, pull down clamping to depths of 3mm or 6mm via a mechanical grid on its jaws.
When used for finish clamping, swissClamp’s finish jaws achieve non-rotating, precise parallel clamping with a clamping stroke of approximately 1mm that prevents indentations and ensures high surface quality. The system enables finish clamping to a depth of 6mm.
The swissClamp system is compact with a simple, yet robust design that makes it easy to clean and offers good chip and coolant flow.
