9 Advantages at a glance
Technology
High quality through and through.
Granting process safety whilst clamping with power and precision.
Unlocked SMART GRIP
In a released state, a continuous flow of air effectively cleans and protects the Z-references from dirt and contamination. This airflow ensures that any debris or particles are blown away, maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of the reference surfaces. As a result, the system remains in optimal condition, contributing to its overall performance and reliability.
Locked SMART GRIP
In a locked state, the airflow is interrupted, signaling to the system that the pallet is securely clamped in place. This interruption indicates that the clamping process has been successfully completed, allowing production to commence. With the pallet firmly held, all machining operations can begin safely and efficiently, ensuring that the workpiece remains stable and accurately positioned throughout the manufacturing process.
Loading
With SMART GRIP AIR you choose double integrated safety.
Pre-centering and loading
Classic clamping systems
SMART GRIP AIR
Maintenance
Maintenance with minimum effort.
In contrast to other palletizing systems, all important wear parts of the SMART GRIP system are accessible from the outside. The system is easy to clean. Complete disassembly is unnecessary. The zero point is not lost. This process only requires little time. With SMART GRIP, there is no risk of idle time due to dirt or abrasive wear. The external clamping mechanism is freely accessible and can easily be cleaned by yourself at any time.
Benefit from:
- Low time and costs for cleaning
- Maintenance „without zero-point loss”
- Highest process reliability
- Maintenance within very short time
- Maintenance „inhouse” by your own machine user without expensive service technician
Accuracy
Accurately repeatable.
System accuracy.
Your technical advantages:
- Cone-shaped, spring-loaded alignment with planar support (HSK principle, hollow pole cone)
- Four axial centering spring lugs guarantee tolerance-free centering
- Index cams for exact positioning
Z-References
SMART GRIP AIR is always equipped with a Z-reference cleaning system. Z-reference surfaces are cleaned at every chucking process. This is important for high levels of accuracy, process safety and lifespan. The hardened and rust-proof SMART GRIP AIR reference surfaces, both in the palletizing system and the pallets, make this system virtually non-wearing and readily automatable. Look forward to a long lifespan and consistent precision of the system.
Your technical advantages:
- Automatic Z-reference cleaning
- System control for automation possible at any time
- Overpressure against the penetration of erosion particles or dielectric fluid
- Consistently high process reliability
In a released state, a continuous flow of air serves to clean and protect the Z-references from dirt and contamination. This ongoing airflow helps to effectively blow away any debris or particles, ensuring that the reference surfaces remain clean and in optimal condition. By preventing the accumulation of dirt, the system maintains its reliability and precision, which is essential for high-quality machining operations.
In a locked state, the airflow is interrupted, serving as a signal to the system that the pallet is securely clamped in position. This interruption confirms that the clamping process has been successfully completed, allowing production to commence. With the pallet firmly secured, all machining operations can proceed safely and efficiently, ensuring that the workpiece remains stable and accurately positioned throughout the entire production process.
Process safety
By means of hardened, rust-proof reference surfaces, both on the pallet and the pallet carrier, as well as by the additional possibility of monitoring by Z-reference feedback, SMART GRIP can be automated at any time. SMART GRIP AIR pallet carriers always offer the possibility of system control via the Z-references.
Profit from:
- the possibility of automation
- at any time
- without additional costs
- with existing SMART GRIP pallet
Material, Lifespan, Clamping force
SMART GRIP AIR is made of high quality materials. The pallet carriers chuck selflocking with a clamping force of 15.000 N. Even under high pressure, e.g. under high machining forces or during a machine crash, pallets cannot be ripped from the palletizing system. The SMART GRIP AIR pallet carriers as well as the pallets, clamping devices and adapters are corrosion-restistant.
Result:
- higher accuracy
- higher lifespan
In a locked state, the airflow is interrupted, serving as a signal to the system that the pallet is securely clamped in position. This interruption confirms that the clamping process has been successfully completed, allowing production to commence.
