Erowa Technology Inc. highlights its VPC (Vise Power Clamp) clamping system for powerful and precise clamping of vises, fixtures and workpieces with pitch dimensions of 52 and 96 millimeters.
The two VPC chuck sizes with the matching VPC clamping spigots form the core of the system. The VPC chucks can be attached to the machine table directly or through a base plate. Workpiece holders and workpieces are then powerfully clamped in the chuck with 15 kilonewtons of force. Workpieces can be exchanged within seconds with a repeatability of less than 0.003 millimeters.
Erowa says the VPC chucking spigots are made of high-quality hardened steel and offer a long lifecycle. The ground functional surfaces ensure optimal run-in behavior into the VPC chuck. This guarantees reliable clamping and trouble-free automation.
With the help of adapter pallets, the VPC tooling system can easily be combined with other Erowa tooling systems such as UPC or MTS. In this way, flexibility in workpiece production can be maximized.
The company says production hours can be greatly increased when matching the VPC system with one of its Erowa handling devices.
