Schunk demonstrates workholding products at Mach
At Mach 2010, Schunk Intec exhibited a selection of workholding products that are designed to deliver fast changeover times to improve productivity.
New additions to the company's range included the Unilock Zero Point clamping range of products, which enable the operator to set up components to better than 5um accuracy while the machine processes another workpiece.
Schunk also demonstrated the versatile range of Kontec vices and NSE modules for high productivity and fast changeover times, especially when used with tombstone clamping towers.
For clamping large, round components, Schunk highlighted the benefits of its established range of Rota chucks.
For smaller, more conventional, round-workpiece applications, the Rota NCK Plus, Rota NCD, Rota S-Plus and the Rota P were on show.
New products also included the customised hydraulic expansion toolholder range.
For small toolholding applications on CNC lathes, the Tendoturn hydraulic expansion toolholder system was exhibited.
The Tendoturn system can be applied to boring bars, drills, taps, reamers and many other fixed-tool scenarios to deliver centric clamping with a high internal dampening.
The vibration-damping qualities result in high surface finish at high machining speeds, particularly in boring applications with long tool overhang.
