Automation add-on enables unmanned operation of mechanical vices

Automated operation of clamping devices saves costs and set-up times and thus ensures an increase in profits. With the new RoboBuddy, mechanical vices from the AllLite CentroLite 68 & 125 line and the Titan2 / NC8 series can be opened and closed with an adapter without the need for a human operator.

The big advantage: customers can continue to use their existing manual vices and keep their costs under control without having to resort to hydraulic or pneumatic clamping devices or retrofitted table feed-throughs. The RoboBuddy thus serves as the perfect complement to complete automation downstream. The integration can be realised without a complex conversion of the clamping devices, only two dowel pins have to be taken up to prepare the manual vice.

The automation extension can be attached via a linear guide or directly to the robot arm. The RoboBuddy is equipped with a Modbus RTU interface as standard. This enables reliable data transmission via the RS485 serial interface. Additional interfaces such as OPC-UA or digital I/Os can be made available via an optionally available control unit.

Usually the RoboBuddy is used on the robot including the handle unit. The robot inserts the workpiece and the RoboBuddy closes the vice with a tightening torque of up to 100 Nm. The workpiece is thus securely clamped throughout and can be machined. After machining, RoboBuddy opens the vice unmanned so that the robot can remove the workpiece. RoboBuddy finds the position of the crank pin independently. It can store the position of the crank pin , the clamping force and the clamping width for up to 256 vices and then call them up again.

By adding the RoboBuddy, customers have the option of automating the manufacturing processes with existing resources, even for small batch sizes. In this way, a high degree of automation is achieved in the long term while keeping investment costs as low as possible.

Short set-up times with high level of flexibility for 5-sided machining
5-axis vice TeleCentric now also available in jaw width 125 mm

With the TeleCentric 70 K & M centric vice, a centric 5-axis vice is already available, which has won over numerous companies with its unique features. A standard quick-jaw change system, the low-maintenance telescopic spindle and mounting holes for zero-point clamping systems are part of the standard equipment.

The TeleCentric 125 provides an impressive 40 kN clamping force with a tightening torque of just 60 Nm The clamping width reaches from 44 to 227 mm. The minimum clamping width can be reduced from 44 to 11 mm using a clamping width adapter. The interference contours remain independent of the clamping width due to the design of the centric telescopic spindle. Maximum accessibility for 5-sided machining is guaranteed.

The centric function means that no zero point needs to be shifted, ensuring simple programmability. The symmetrical design ensures a centred and parallel position of the workpiece, which guarantees high clamping accuracy. Mounting holes for zero-point clamping systems (centre distance 200 mm) are also integrated in the TeleCentric as standard.

The greatest possible flexibility and the shortest possible set-up times are extremely important, especially in the production of smaller batches. This is why the 5-axis vice is equipped with a quick-jaw change system. The tool-free change of each pair of jaws takes just ten seconds thanks to the quick-release fastener. The vice can be adapted to the workpieces to be machined as quick as possible without tools. Jaws for clamping pre-machined parts, gripper jaws for raw parts and carbide-coated jaws are available for the TeleCentric 125. The jaws of the TeleCentric 70 can also be used on the TeleCentric 125.

TeleSense Connect, TitanSense and PocketSense: Monitoring and documenting clamping force digitally in Hoffmann Group Connected Tools (HCT)

Clamping force data is essential for reliable production processes. This data is also a relevant factor for the automation of clamping processes. To ensure safe milling of the workpieces, the clamping force of the selected clamping device must be correct during clamping and during machining. This is possible with the new “Sense” technology. In the TeleSense Connect 5-axis vice, the clamping force is constantly monitored directly in the spindle. This ensures secure clamping with high repeat accuracy throughout the entire machining process. The TitanSense 3- and 4-axis vice is also equipped with this technology. The current clamping force can be read directly on the display and can also be transferred wirelessly to end devices. Vices that are equipped without clamping force monitoring can be checked with the new PocketSense. The wireless load cell fits all vices with a minimum clamping width of 61 mm with a minimum jaw height of 39.5 mm and a maximum clamping force of 70 kN.

New: integration of ALLMATIC products in HCT app

All products in the Sense series are now also integrated in the Hoffman Group Connected Tools App (HCT). The determined data can be transferred to a computer, tablet or smartphone.

Connect Sense products wirelessly via the app – measure the clamping force and document it conveniently – done!

Handling and application advantages increase productivity

 

ALLMATIC-Jakob Spannsysteme GmbH is expanding its product range for improved 5-axis machining: the new TeleSense 125 vice with integrated clamping force monitoring offers a whole range of benefits for the user. At the AMB 2022 exhibition, visitors can see this for themselves at Stand F51 in Hall 1.

Anyone who wants to achieve optimum results with a 5-axis machine must clamp their workpieces correctly. ALLMATIC-Jakob Spannsysteme GmbH is now launching the new TeleSense 125 vice for this purpose. It offers numerous advantages such as a low tightening torque, integrated clamping force monitoring or universal quick change jaws for short set-up times.

High clamping force with low tightening torque

Users are particularly pleased with the low force required for clamping: 40 kN clamping force can be achieved with a tightening torque of just 50 Nm – made possible by a power-ratio spindle. This sets ALLMATIC-Jakob clamping systems apart from many comparable vices that require 100 Nm and more. Working with the torque wrench allows the clamping force to be defined precisely. “The uniform spanner size is also pleasant, as only one interface is required for force setting and clamping,” explains Felix Kiechle, product manager at ALLMATIC Jakob.

Thanks to the integrated clamping force monitoring, the force is always under control when clamping the workpiece and during machining. Fluctuations or a drop in clamping force are immediately apparent. This reduces errors during machining and protects both – man and machine.

The current clamping force is shown directly on the display on the vice. In addition, wireless data transmission to a terminal is possible. A long battery life as well as simple and quick changing of the batteries keep the clamping force monitoring available to the maximum. On request, the vice is also available without a monitoring unit. In this case, the clamping force monitoring can be upgraded.

Universal quick-change jaws help to reduce set-up times

Another advantage of the vice ist the quick change jaws, which enable short set-up times. A jaw change can be done in less than 10 seconds without tools. The universal quick change jaw covers a wide range of different set-ups. Clamping of parallel, round and irregular parts as well as gripping and draw-down clamping are easy to realise. Components can also be clamped reliably without pre-stamping. “This makes it very flexible fort the user,” explains Kiechle. “I can clamp parts pre-machined on the step, use gripp-studs as well as pre-screw a gripp-strip. If the user therefore don’t has to change the clamping jaw as often, this also results in a reduction in set-up times.”

With a jaw width of 125 mm, the 5-axis vice offers a clamping range of 0 to 206 mm. With an extension element, even 281 mm can be achieved – without conversion or changing the base part. The jaw assortment of the NC8, Titan 2, CentroGripp and T-Rex models can be used. This makes the user flexible.

The TeleSense 125 vice has an optimal design for 5-axis machining. The symmetrical design allows excellent accessibility from all sides. This is important in order to take maximum advantage of 5-axis machining.

The trapezoidal spindle itself adapts optimally to the contour and does not protrude anywhere. Since it is completely encapsulated, it does not get dirty or damaged during machining. The high thread pitch ensures a rapid traverse, in which fast pre-positioning of the workpiece is possible.

Extension of the clamping system range with hydraulic vices for the NC8 and T-Rex 125 series

Allmatic-Jakob Spannsysteme is expanding its range of products to include new hydraulic clamping systems for the NC8 and T-Rex 125 series. Areas of application are machine tools in serial production, as well as areas with a high degree of automation. The hydraulic vices make it possible to clamp workpieces quickly and automatically with a precisely defined clamping force and therefore reduce set-up times while at the same time ensuring high machining quality.

Metal machining is usually done using high-precision CNC machines which must run without interruption to the greatest extent possible. It is therefore important to keep the set-up times as short as possible. Clamping systems for holding the workpieces play an important role here. In serial production in particular, the highest possible degree of automation for recurring machining steps forms the basis for cost-effective production. Hydraulic vices are the first choice here. They allow the workpiece to be fixed in place with high force in the shortest time possible. These constantly repeating clamping processes can also always be carried out with exactly the same force.
Allmatic-Jakob Spannsysteme has expanded its portfolio to include a total of six new hydraulic vices for these tasks: These expand the NC8 (in the sizes 90, 125M, 125L, 160 and 200) and T-Rex series with their tried-and-tested mechanical vices. All hydraulic models allow for “grip clamping” as standard, i.e. the teeth on the jaw “bite” firmly into the unmachined part.
Both series are suitable for materials with a strength of up to around 1,400 N/mm², depending on accessories. Continuous adjustment of the clamping force is done through regulation of the hydraulic pressure on the hydraulic unit, rough adjustment of the clamping range is done mechanically using a hand crank. The clamping systems are equipped with a low maintenance, encapsulated high-pressure spindle, meaning that only minimal effort is required for cleaning. The spindle includes a single-action cylinder with spring reset.
It is also possible to equip clamping towers with the hydraulic spindles. Allmatic also implements individual solutions according to customer requests.

Automating machining centres with NC8 Hydro

The mechanical clamping system in the NC8 series has been successfully used in vertical CNC-controlled milling machines for many years. The new hydraulic variant is a practical alternative, particularly for the automation of 3 and 4-axis machines for serial production. The hydraulic spindle allows workpieces of all types to be clamped quickly and securely with a force of up to 40 kN (up to 60 kN for the NC8-160 and NC8-200 models). The hydraulic clamping stroke is limited to a maximum of 4.5 mm due to safety regulations. The guideway is inductively hardened and ground. The available jaw widths are 90, 125, 160 or 200 mm.
The jaw interface is compatible with the NC8/CL/TC and Titan 2 series. An individual QR code on the clamping system allows for quick access to technical information, accessories, spare parts and contact with the service team.

T-Rex 125 Hydro: Ideal for 5-axis machining centres
The T-Rex 125 Hydro mechanical clamping system has proven itself as a clamping solution which can be used horizontally on vertical, CNC-controlled milling machines. Its strength lies in automated use on 5-axis machining centres in serial production. There, it guarantees secure and rapid clamping of unmachined parts, flame and saw cuts with gripping jaws, as well as clamping of parallel pre-machined workpieces with smooth jaws. Excellent accessibility (low interference contour) which can be further increased with a bracket is a further benefit.
As in the NC8 series, the hydraulic spindle also makes it possible to use support jaws, which can be used to securely clamp unmachined parts of a wide variety of types, from flame and saw cuts through to complex castings. The clamping process is done hydraulically using a pressure switch. Stamping and clamping, as well as continuous adjustment of the clamping force using hydraulic pressure can be done in just one work step. The jaw width is 125 mm, the clamping stroke is 4.5 mm so that the vice can be loaded manually.
The clamping jaws of the mechanical variant can also be used on the T-Rex 125 Hydro.
