Clamping elements
The direction makes it exciting
Heinrich Kipp draws attention to its wide range of new clamping elements. The new products with pneumatic operation are particularly suitable for use in processing machines.
Processes are simplified thanks to partial automation. The form clamp consists of a clamping body (tempered steel) and a collet chuck (high-strength aluminum). After screwing the clamping body onto the desired fixture, the collet is pneumatically unlocked or locked by compressed air at the "open" or "close" markings. A simple change of the collet enables fast and safe clamping of different workpieces with irregular contours. The tension clamp is used by screwing the workpiece to a clamping bolt. It is then opened and closed by applying compressed air to the marked connections. A further connection is used to blow out and clean the support surface. This interface can also be used to check whether the workpiece is resting on the surface. The tension clamp can also be used as a zero-point clamping system. The distinguishing feature of the products pull-down clamps, swing clamps and side clamps is the direction from which the workpieces to be machined are clamped. The pull-down clamp is clamped from above. The swing clamp has a swivel function that allows the workpieces to be freely inserted, removed and clamped from above. The side clamp allows optimum accessibility: the lateral clamping means that the upper processing surface is free of interfering edges. pb
