ZERO POINT CLAMPING SYSTEM
OR
APS (Automatic Positioning System)
Is a universal connection between the machine tool, the clamping device and/or the workpiece. The flexibility of APS allows both positioning and clamping in one operation.
How does it work?
APS uses oiled compressed air (6 BAR-85 psi) for unlocking, it uses spring force for clamping. No compressed air is required in the locked condition. Attach the clamping pins (A;B;C) on the clamping devices or on the workpiece and “it’s done”!!!
What are the advantages to you?
Positioning and clamping in one operation with repeatability accuracy < 0, 005 mm (0.0002”).
What are the advantages for your company?
Your set-up times will be reduced by 90 %.
APS offers you greater flexibility in set-up and an increase in productivity resulting in a short payback time.
