At the Southern Manufacturing 2016 exhibition on stand S110, Schunk will be promoting a host of new products launched through 2015 as well as established product lines.
Many manufacturers have now recognized they can improve surface finishes and tool service lives by utilising the innovative TRIBOS system; and at Southern Manufacturing from the 9th to 11th of February 2016, the latest interfaces will be on show.
These new interfaces deliver a higher level of standardization for the precision tool holding systems for micro machining and are now available with the TRIBOS RM and TRIBOS MINI ranges.
The TRIBOS-Mini that has been designed for high-speed micro applications can now be integrated with a high-speed HSK-E 20 spindle interface. The clamping technology experts at SCHUNK believe this newly standardized interface is superior to many short taper interfaces due to its accuracy at high speeds. In addition, it needs much less space compared to the HSK-E 25 interface. SCHUNK has designed the robust TRIBOS-RM with an extended L1 dimension of 78mm especially for high-efficiency 5-axes machining.
Additionally, Schunk will be keen to promote to the aerospace and composite machining fraternity the TENDO E Compact hydraulic expansion toolholder. Capable of reducing set-up times by up to 60% whilst generating up to 2000Nm of torque, the TENDO E Compact delivers micron precision for a host of machining applications. With this precision toolholder, even demanding applications with tight tolerances on the form, position and surface finish can be rapidly and reliably machined.
Another product that will be of interest to the high-tech visitors and exhibitors alike at the show, will be the innovative SPM Plus 138 fixture membrane. Manufactured from aluminum, the SPM Plus provides the clamping of a multitude of geometries from all sides with its innovative pull-down effect.
The SPM will be complimented by the SCHUNK PRONTO quick jaw change system that has a change-over time of 5 seconds per jaw.
Ideal for single-part and small-batch production, the Kontec KSC accommodates conventional clamping, small clamping depths, moulded parts, plates or workpieces with saw cuts.
From a maintenance perspective, the LINOMAX special grease from Schunk is recommended for the lubrication of power chucks. The light-colored adhesive grease with solid lubricants has been specially developed for sliding surfaces exposed to high pressure loads and water in the form of metal machining emulsions. It is especially resistant to washout, prevents seizure and provides anti-corrosion and excellent anti-wear protection.
