Chain Clamping
Chain clamping systems offer flexibility to hold workpieces of various shapes and sizes. The design allows for customization and adjustment to accommodate irregular geometries or non-standard shapes that might be challenging to secure with traditional clamping methods. This adaptability is beneficial in 5-axis CNC machining, where diverse workpieces often require different workholding approaches.
The chain clamping system uses a series of interconnected chains with adjustable links and tensioning mechanisms to secure the workpiece firmly in place during machining. These chains wrap around the workpiece, securing it tightly against a fixture or a workholding surface. The adjustable nature of chain clamping allows for flexibility in accommodating various shapes and sizes of workpieces, providing stability and rigidity essential for precise and accurate machining operations.
Engineered to provide substantial clamping force to ensure a secure grip on the workpiece, these clamping systems excel in enabling multi-sided machining. Securely gripping raw material from different angles allows machining operations on multiple sides of a workpiece without the need for repositioning or extensive setup changes.
Their adaptable nature allows these systems to safely secure bulky, round or heavy workpieces, which might pose challenges for conventional clamping methods. Their robust construction and high clamping force enable them to hold workpieces weighing up to 2 tons.
