New ZeroClamp^® 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.

This principle also removes any machining induced vibration, minimises 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.

TestIT - It's the only way to be sure

For a safe, precise and productive manufacturing process a regular check of the actual clamping force being achieved is indispensable. To address this demand, Hainbuch offers the extremely capable and easy to use TESTit clamping force gauge.

Capable of measuring clamping forces greater than 200kN the TESTit is the only device currently capable of measuring internal and external workholding systems, such as mandrels and manual/powered jaw or collet chucks.

ZEROCLAMP IN PRINT 

Thanks to the highly accurate repeatability of the ZeroClamp^® system parts can be unloaded and reloaded with the minimum of fuss. This new catalogue details the whole product range. 

The simple design uses just a few high quality stainless or corrosion resistant steel components so it is very robust and is unaffected by swarf or coolant ingress, the pots can be quickly cleaned out with a blast from a standard airline gun.

Avoiding all the disadvantages of a hydraulic system, the smart design of the Leader ZeroClamp^® system means that the units are around half the height of any alternative zero point fixtures, which allows the machine tool to keep more of its working envelope capacity.

The typical use of zero point fixturing involves manual pallets, which improve efficiency by allowing parts to be loaded and set-up outside of the machine tool. However, the full application and benefits of the Leader ZeroClamp^® system is only really limited to the imagination of the engineer considering its use.
