SMW Autoblok, a world leader in the design and manufacture of rotational chucks, stationary workholding, tooling and engineered solutions for the machine tool industry, introduces the electronic ZeroAct E-motion automatic positioning system featuring Zero Point clamping used in a variety of machining applications including milling, inspection, finishing, clean room operations and 3D printing.
Ideal for Industry 4.0, ZeroAct e-motion features wireless connectivity and data transfer, and fully automates manufacturing processes using a 24V power supply that operates with a built-in electro-motor. In addition, integrated electronic sensor technologyprovides contact-free part detection and safety for missing or misaligned parts.
With an ultralow profile of 48 mm and extremely flat design, ZeroAct E-motion is ideal for any Zero Point application especially those where a large Z-axis travel of the spindle is critical for success.
The modular ZeroAct E-motion system, with a compact size of 150 x 150 mm, provides a repeat accuracy of < 5 µm and holding force of 35, 50, or 75 kN depending on thread of clamping pin.
The electronic ZeroAct E-motion is part of the comprehensive lineup of plug & play mechatronic workholding products including chucks and stationary workholding for intelligent part holding.
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
With an ultralow profile of 40 mm and extremely flat design, ZeroAct is ideal for any zero-point application especially those where the z-axis travel of the spindle is critical. The ZeroAct features rapid open and closing of the modules and simultaneous actuation with one simple twist of the wrist…
Each jaw of the MM e-motion is independently controlled and monitored by an individual electro-mechanical drive, which allows for many clamping functions including self-centering, compensating, and individual jaw movement all within one fully automated chuck.
Ideal for high volume lathe and mill turn applications, the HFKS-2G is optimum for heavy duty precision machining of easily deformed workpieces. Thanks to flats on the chuck body technology and lighter weight, the ability to use shorter tools to gain closer access to workpieces provides added parts…
Standard couplers are axial couplers with threaded fasteners commonly used in sensor technology. With their method of fixing these are easy to install and are quickly integrated, thanks to their plug & play functionality. The built-in LED display notifies the user of the system's status at…
Providing excellent repeatability that is guaranteed within 10 microns, the CCS can be installed in under three minutes on new or existing lathes that saves time and increases operator productivity. A standard adapter system provides automatic push off and easy mounting to all types of traditional…
Ideal for CNC machining applications, the SJL provides the highest accuracy for thin-walled and deformation-sensitive workpieces. Unique to the SJL is the ability to be switched from a 2+2+2 lever equalizing chuck to classic 6-jaw self-centering chuck depending on application requirements.
SMW Autoblok introduces the versatile four-in-one Centco4 2+2 self-centering and compensating chuck. The Centco4’s engineering and flexibility enables it to securely and efficiently clamp virtually any type or shape of geometric part including round, cubic, angular and irregular.
SMW Autoblok introduces the WPS/APS workpiece positioning system featuring manual zero point clamping system used in a variety of machining applications, including turning, milling, inspection and finishing.
