Clamping system for a new milling machine
Investments in machinery often lead to further purchases - as is the case at Joma-Maschinenbau, whose modern production facility has recently been supplemented by a 5-axis milling machine.

HWR Spanntechnik presents a hydraulically actuated 4-jaw chuck for automated workpiece changing. The clamping device is designed to enable short set-up times, precise clamping and high productivity in automation.
Every workpiece quickly reveals its pitfalls when clamping. If the clamping claw cannot be rotated to the clamping point due to the part geometry, things get tricky. Erwin Halder's innovative sit-on clamp is a solution that allows users to literally postpone the problem.

The KZS centric clamps from Röhm are suitable for 6-sided machining in two set-ups, among other things. Their features include clamping forces of up to 55 kN, an enlarged clamping range of 20 percent and a reduced interference contour for optimized chip flow.

This year, the Hoffmann Group received the coveted iF Design Award, which is presented annually by the world's oldest independent design institution, the iF International Forum Design in Hanover, for three Garant brand products.

With the Kontec KSC-D, Schunk is expanding its modular system with a lightweight and flat double clamp that is designed in particular for demanding continuous use in automated machine tools with workpiece storage.
