Instead of a machine table – zero-point clamping systems integrated into the machine frame

Type of machine: VPC 55

Instead of a machine table – zero-point clamping systems integrated into the machine frame
AXA VPC without machine table
Clamping pallet fixed using zero-point clamping systems

Task:

Efficient machining of a wide variety of workpieces with high setup effort

Workpieces:

Transfer tools, and progressive tools; general steel construction

Solution:

  • Machine design without a fixed machine table. Instead, zero-point clamping systems are integrated into the machine frame to accommodate customer-specific clamping pallets.
  • Machine operators can set up a clamping pallet in parallel with main machining time.
  • The exchange of clamping pallets is performed using a crane.
 

Special features:

  • Enlarged door opening of 3800 mm for easier loading of clamping pallets onto the lifting system.
  • The hydraulic lifting system allows the clamping pallets to be gently lifted into and out of the zero-point clamping systems.
  • Guides roughly align the clamping pallets when inserting them with the crane.
