Functional description
The clamping systems of the modular system WDP-5X can be
combined with individual clamping pillars using change interfaces
similar to a quick-change pallet system, and can be joined using
the manual connecting devices of the system components. This
enables a clamping device setup for 5-sided machining of a
workpiece to be joined together on several clamping pillars.
The clamping systems adapted on the clamping pillars can be
actuated pneumatically or manually as desired.
With the WDP-5X-SM stacking modules, five different heights are
available. Appropriate combinations of systems enable clamping
pillars to be mounted in increments of 10 mm. The WDP-5X-ASM
99-70-Ø36-M pneumatic clamping system is designed for fine
adjustment of height with regard to the workpiece interface in
conjunction with the matching direct workpiece clamping pin.
Function of the connecting unit in the change components
The clamping systems of the WDP-5X modular system have a
special connecting mechanism that includes a quick-change
function.
The connection is transferred to a connection shaft by a tapered
screw. At the same time, a pre-tension force is applied at the
clamping point on the flat surfaces positioned against one another.
A hexagonal socket screw drive with wrench size 6 mm is required
to clamp and loosen the connecting unit.
For the connecting points, the corresponding screw tightening
torques for the clamping screws of the change interface must be
adhered to (see chapter "Screw tightening torques"
The achievable pull-in force on the change interface varies,
depending on the screw tightening torque. The maximum torque
for the clamping screw may not be exceeded; for this reason, a
torque wrench with socket must be used. A lower torque is
sufficient for low clamping columns.
To quickly fit the clamping structure, the WDP-5X-BM 99-60 base
modules and the WDP-5X-BMG 99-60 basic module include a
hexagonal socket screwdriver.
