The CleverClamp base rail can be automated directly. The robot places the workpiece carrier on the machine with precision and speed.
The EWIS™ identification system provides you with a safe overviw of magazine positions and pallets.
5-axis machining provides great advantages when it comes to machining workpieces as completely and economically as possible in one clamping position. Errors due to reclamping are avoided, and non-productive times are distinctly reduced.
The new EROWA blank vise safely clamps workpieces with a high degree of clamping power at minimum height. The vise is characterized by a compact and robust, but still lightweight design. The individually usable jaws enable a wide variety of workpiece sizes to be clamped.
The blank vise has a compact and robust design and as a workpiece carrier provides the machine-tool with optimal accessibility to the workpiece.
A height of only 100mm leaves a great deal of space for machining – even for larger workpieces.
The blank is stamped when clamped for the first time.
This makes prestamping on the stamping unit unnecessary. Set-up times and costs are reduced.
An integrated interface enables the blank vise to be clamped into the following EROWA chucks: PowerChuck P, ProductionChuck 210 Combi and MTS Single Chuck.
The blank vise can be used in manual or automated operation.
Fast and precise resetting in tool-making and in light chip removal: save time and money by using the EROWA EDM Tooling System. The basis of this workpiece clamping system is constituted by the EROWA ITS chucks, which can be fitted and aligned on the machine table or on the machine quill. Workpiece and electrodes are fitted to and set up on system carriers such as pallets, electrode holders, centering plates, etc. and production can start.
The applications of ITS chucks are as many-faceted as the challenges presented by jobs in precision mechanics and tool- and mold-making.
Depending on workpiece size, we offer a considerable range of different suitable chuck variants.
Fixed reference positions: the chucking spigot and the centering plate guarantee precise positioning in the chuck and powerful clamping of electrode holders.
The next job is prepared while the machine is productive. Then, there is a quick resetting operation, without loss of time through re-alignment and re-positioning of the electrode holder.
EROWA ITS chucks can be used universally on all machines.
Workpieces and electrodes pass through the entire production chain (turning, milling, grinding, EDM, WEDM, and measuring and presetting stations) palletized on the same system carrier.
