ZeroClamp® zero point clamping system offers significant advantages

 

 

Our new ZeroClamp® zero point clamping system is designed to significantly reduce set-up times and increase machining efficiency. The Patent-registered new system provides an effective route to producing more components, quicker and at a lower cost. A number of features set this reliable and robust workholding solution apart from other competitor systems.

 

Using the face and taper HSK spindle tooling principle ZeroClamp® can achieve a repeatability of +/- 2.5 micron, around 10 times more accurate than existing systems. As the hollow, tapered-shank bolt is drawn into the clamping pot the elastic properties of the seating ring expand slightly, allowing the taper to locate positively and the faces of the pot and the pallet or raw material to engage and locate solidly. 

 

This principle also removes any machining induced vibration, minimizes all thermal effects and compensates for hole misalignments of up to +/- 0.1 mm as the tapers always compensate towards the centre of the clamping position.
