SMART GRIP 5 Axis Workholding Systems

Systems Overview

Maximize the Performance of your 5-Axis Machining Center with Rigid & High Accuracy Work-Piece Clamping Systems

The HSK interface (between the head and the work-holder) and the dovetail clamping (between the work-holder and the work-piece) create a compact design with less interference and high rigidity for metalworking applications

• The rigid system developed for metalworking applications.

• No interference and superior accessibility.

• Handling the work-piece is easy using a general-purpose robot.

High Positioning Accuracy

  • HSK-A4040 Diameter
  • HSK-A6363 Diameter
  • HSK-A100100 Diameter

Offsetting the work-piece position in the rotating direction using a touch probe

• Measuring two locations along the work-piece side face using a touch probe enables you to offset the machine table angle easily.
