The KIPPflexX 5-axis clamping system is characterised by high stability, flexibility and user-friendliness.
This 5-axis clamping system can be used as a positive-down force vice or as a normal vice for holding e.g. blanks.
The user can decide if positive-down force is desired or not when operating the clamping unit.
-
If both jaw units are locked, positive-down force is effected.
-
If one jaw unit remains unlocked, this jaw can be moved and clamps using the normal vice principle.
(see 3.2 Technical explanation of the difference between positive-down force clamping and normal clamping)
When using the positive-down function, the workpiece is pulled down onto the rest with a repeat accuracy of ±0.01 mm.
A workpiece clamping height of 155/180 mm enables very good accessibility with short tools when machining.
The clamping width is infinitely adjustable using a hand crank, thus reducing set-up times.
Clamping is done using a torque wrench with max. 140 Nm, which results in an enormous clamping force of 60 kN directly in the
spindle under the workpiece.
In addition, the closed geometries and the associated imperviousness to dirt reduce maintenance and service time to a minimum.
