The compact and monoblock, GF icing plates can be quickly installed:
Connect the apparatus to the compressed air system, spray water onto the icing plate and position the part to be machined. Then actuate the temp control button. Within seconds the water freezes and the part is clamped. Unclamping is done just as fast by reversing the freeze/thaw valve.

As there is no water thickness under the part, z-axis repeatability depends only on the referential. Because the plate evacuates the calories generated by machining, standard lubrication is no longer necessary. Freezing increases the ridigity of a number of materials (plastics, raw ceramics, neoprene...) thus improving surface condition.
 

- Clamping surface: 140x100 mm (ext. dim. 288x114x68)
- Milling - Grinding
- Diamond dressing
- Removable icing plate
- Locating holes for "X Y" positioning of templates (optional)
- ’’Z’’ reference non-freeze key (optional)
- Steel shims for securing on magnetic plate (optional)
Each removable plate can be adapted to a particular machining process and thus dedicated to a set of parts.
