Modular clamp tool

Mr Wagner place says: "Be based on crop and product to abound degree, of course ground adjusted inventory circumstance, reduced production to plan time. " they optimized clamping apparatus with production respect in the design not just, the plan of auxiliary to production still time undertook optimizing. The clamp technology below condition of mixture production of much more phyletic spare parts the view according to district director Guenter Kleemann, choose why to plant clamp technology basically depends on the requirement of the spare parts, the geometrical form that processes batch, handling time and spare parts especially (graph 2) . In addition, manufacturing flexibility and speed also need to receive first consideration, kleemann is right this say: "Clamping apparatus must satisfy socioeconomic requirement. Be in our factory, limitation uses hydraulic pressure clamping apparatus. " the action that here explains with the example that machines a complex oil groove clamp plan chooses standard place to rise: This company obtained a new order recently, need completes the treatment of clamping apparatus inside 6 weeks: "The clamp module ability that standardizes only finishs manufacturing job inside so short time " . Kleeman says. Kipp company is the clamping unit that comes from Sulz and standard hardware manufacturer, when speaking of the resource that how uses standard unit according to order circumstance make corresponding solution, the say of Werner Schreiner of applied technology engineer of this company: "To order of this kind of clamping apparatus, we go to existing program application on standard clamping unit, adopted the plan of clamping apparatus of building blocks type that is to say, the requirement that can get used to a variety of clamping apparatus order " , this expert of clamp tool respect explains. For this, component of all sorts of clamping unit related each other, bearing and fixed position component are united in wedlock each other, be assembled in order to simplify and operate circuit (graph 3) . Graph 3: Efficient and convenient principle: The clamping apparatus of more than 90% comes from standard unit; For example component of stop, fixed position and clamping unit. Can ensure very tall repeated usage is led so. Next, the example that Schreiner listed treatment oil groove will explain make full use of the principal port of working space. About this outstanding action, helmut Geib of the member that engine prepares tool clamping apparatus of the branch to coordinate emphasizes saying: "To ensure competition ability, must can at the same time clamp two oil groove. Can win more handling time from this, and the goal that can achieve double accident to go. " (graph 4) used working space Schreiner bestly to express same opinion to this: "To make the machine tool is accommodated as far as possible much spare parts, between the unmanned duty time keeping that and can come true grows as far as possible, must utmost favourable geographical position uses existing working space. In the example that machines large and complex oil groove, the moving course of machine tool main shaft, the burr brim of revolving stage and clamp tool and must pass examine, can use with what the space must get utmost. Because this is necessary even,mill goes a few edges of revolving stage. " (graph 5) it is a foundation in order to regard the Zhang Jin that standard unit uses as angle square next, kipp company will detect the clamp condition of the spare parts. Regard tool of a clamp as the expert, schreiner goes successfully not just besides burr brim, transform favorable balance of trade successfully to cross the clamping unit of 90% from inside standard unit. Still rely on accurate referenced aperture to be on Zhang Jin board and Zhang Jin angle square additionally built concentrated grating, can decorate real clamping unit freely thereby. Graph 4 (left) : Modular can reduce preparative time: Although the space is narrow, but still came true at the same time clamp two spare partses, ensured thereby longer handling time. Graph 5 (right) : For can at the same time clamp two spare partses, must use the working space of clamping apparatus adequately. Kleemann is very satisfactory to these achievement: "We found a kind of fast and practical solution, already safe economy is practical. But this kind of plan is not applied to as temporarily plan. " standard clamp plan is not just temporarily plan besides prepare clamping apparatus on time besides, clamping apparatus of modular building blocks type still can bring another profit to Schreiner: Wait for the repeated usage rate of individual clamping apparatus when machining spare parts happening to change to be able to exceed 90% , and can huge is managing be aimed at brand-new the preparative time of the spare parts. Still can use the storage space of clamping apparatus effectively in addition; Also need not be in that way like the past discard as useless clamping apparatus prepares waste material alone. Clamping apparatus of building blocks type can apply on broaching machine not only, to experienced like Geib engineer, they still can get relevant experience quickly: "A lot of proposals and change the daily application that comes from clamp tool. The component in if need the stop of special form later,perhaps be opposite, can try to having element so appreciably is changed, very convenient. " use standard clamping unit rapid compose builds clamping apparatus to pursue 6: Must shorten as far as possible production plans time: Be based on provides CAD data, the Werner Schreiner of applied technology engineer that comes from Kipp company (left) HelmutGeib of the member that coordinate with the tool clamping apparatus that comes from company of assembly of general motors motivation developed the special clamping apparatus that is used at cylinder to build clamp together. If use standard unit to come in great quantities,compose builds clamping apparatus, the goal can achieve inside short time, and need not repeat grinding. This kind of circumstance cans be found everywhere, schreiner made following summary to the development purpose of clamping apparatus of building blocks type: "After all the attempt that we have this side far from possibly before. Previously we must development of hardware of trial-produce of bit by bit uses clamping apparatus. After the spot has delicate adjustment only ability offers same clamping apparatus on time. " to special clamping apparatus character, it is very important to offer money in time, schreiner cited a such case: The lid of a kind of cylinder that is general motors is special developed corresponding clamping apparatus, the CAD data that provides according to place completes treatment successfully (graph 6) . To ensure the spare parts is rapid smoothly switch, this also can assure taller fiducial precision and horny precision as a kind of special strategy. Additional, clamping apparatus must have taller hardness and more aseismatic, such ability assure the exterior quality when milling. 5 axes milling can simplify clamping apparatus makes a process to clamping apparatus manufacturer, to can make response quickly to standard product and special product at the same time, kleemann emphasizes saying: "Not only the flexibility of clamping apparatus of building blocks type helped us, the flexibility of Kipp company oneself also produced very big effect. Other company assures very hard so short offer goods period. " if clamping apparatus of building blocks type can satisfy the requirement of flexibility and dependability, geib thinks the overall performance between BAZ and clamping apparatus still has a lot of latent capacity: "We use 5 rods machining center gained greater freedom, undertake machining below fixed angle cost especially. Below existing machine tool condition, we must make corresponding change to clamping apparatus according to angle. Such word, clamping apparatus is met very costly and flexibility is extremely low.
