Workpiece carrier

Zero-point clamping modules have been ensuring high efficiency in machine tools for years. The Neher Group, a leading manufacturer of polycrystalline diamond tools and automation solutions, has now extended the range of applications in its new MX01 modular series to rotary transfer machine construction and uses Schunk's modules, which are both stable and precise, to clamp workpiece carrier pallets in leak testing systems.

In order to be able to manufacture flexibly and in line with demand, it is not only production lines that need to be adaptable in the sense of plug and produce. The associated infrastructure for supplying the production modules must also be increasingly flexibly connected to the system.

New at Maschinenbau Kitz is a chain circulation system that feeds and removes workpieces to and from the machining center in a synchronized and position-oriented manner. In order to be able to transport components of different sizes, the distance between the two profile strands on which the components lie can be changed via an adjustment unit. Torque ball bushings and shafts from Dr. Tretter are installed for this purpose.
