New patented with 5 and 6 axis clamp system
15/10/2004
The company DM2, company specialized in the reconstruction and modernization of transfer machines, represented in Spain by ASM, has launched a completely new system in the use of autocentrantes plates for fixation of pieces in one or more pallets machining centres, transfer, drilling and milling machines, multi-head machines...
This novelty presents significant advantages because it allows the finished with a single setting, parts with traditional dishes, should be mechanized in two times.
So you can see by the example of the image 1 gag. A piece of cubic form is placed in the muzzle, which leaning 50th both right and left and turning the piece about herself, allow the machining of the 6 faces.
With this new system, it is possible to improve times and get products of higher quality.
Main features of the patent
Solution to - 5th axis: this clamp can be mounted both on an individual basis as modular, and both vertically and horizontally. It can be integrated in machine-tool or interface with your own team. The burden of piece/s can be manual or automatic with the use of a robot and the fa piece pricing is hydraulically via two autocentrantes tanks.
The piece fixed in the clamp can spin in continuous (360 °) or position itself at the request of the customer, both as counter-clockwise clockwise.
Solution B - 6th axis: this gag has the same characteristics of A solution, but adding the rotation that allows obtaining the 6th axis. Both the setting and the positioning of the piece are precise, rigid and fast.
