Frost bites

 

AMCC is a world leader in the development of advanced technology for plate freezing small and delicate components for micro machining. Ongoing research and engineering development has seen the company expand its product range with the new GFR series.

 

This impressive and unusual technology uses a film of ice to firmly secure parts for grinding, milling and turning operations. As most components that require traditional micro machining operations are very fragile they are therefore susceptible to damage. AMCC has answered this challenge with an innovative solution that is quick and easy to use.

Power chuck demonstrates capability

 

Demonstrating Autogrip Machinery’s capability, this particularly large 1,600mm diameter 3-jaw power chuck was unveiled at the TIMTOS 2013 exhibition. The largest power chuck the company has ever produced, it has been designed and manufactured for a renowned VTL (vertical turning lathe) machine tool builder. The end customer supports the aerospace and oil/gas/petrochemical industries.

 

However, to produce the chuck Autogrip had to invest in a specially built very large grinding machine with 2,000 diameter by 300 mm capacity. It features four separate grinding heads, one each dedicated to inside, outside, surface and slot grinding.

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.
