The new hydraulic compensation jaws from SCHUNK have set a new benchmark for low-deformation workpiece clamping. It is the first time that chuck jaws for compensating the workpiece clamping process have successfully been combined with centrifugal force compensation, vibration-damping characteristics and micron-precision concentricity.
The integrated oil chamber innovation from the competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology is a central feature of the new hydraulic compensation jaws. Above this are two oscillating clamping elements for clamping rough or finished parts that are mounted. As the jaws individually adapt to the workpiece, form tolerances in castings for example, are reliably compensated. Compared to conventional 3-point clamping, the number of clamping points is doubled and this lowers the deformation of the workpiece. It also ensures that obtainable roundness is significantly increased.
At high speeds, the hydraulic clamping system automatically guarantees centrifugal force compensation. This ensures that the clamping force is always reliably maintained. In order to minimize workpiece deformation, the clamping force can be considerably reduced in comparison with previous solutions without restrictions on process reliability. For maximum precision on the component, the concentricity can also be adjusted with micron-precision on the chuck jaws. Additionally, the vibration-damping characteristics of the oil chamber system benefit the surface quality of the workpiece and it also enhances tool life. The hydraulic compensation jaws are suitable for low-deformation O.D. clamping of rough and finished surfaces.
The exciting new hydraulic compensation jaws are available for all lathe chuck sizes and serration types.
