Short setup times, great high flexibility for machining from 5 sides

With its TeleCentric, the clamping device specialist ALLMATIC-Jakob presents a novel centric 5-axis clamping device with a standard fast attachment bracket system.

Manufacturing and processing plants require a lot of clamping system. On the one hand,
straightforward and fast handling is essential. On the other hand, machine jaws must fixate the work piece securely and with the  minimum amount of vibration. Additionally, the share of 5-axis machines in production halls has been increasing significantly in the last 15 years. With its TeleCentric, the renowned clamping device manufacturer ALLMATIC-Jakob is now presenting a
secure and newly designed solution for clamping on modern 5-axis machines. Both grip clamping as well as conventional clamping are possible.

Raw part on two TeleCentric vices

“The machine vice must not hinder the access of tools and machine spindles to the work piece”, says Herbert Mayr, managing director of ALLMATIC, about the challenge the company faced when the new product was designed. When Rösch and his colleagues designed this new range
of products, they focussed exclusively on centric clamping, hence the name “TeleCentric”. A particular highlight is the telescopic spindle, which features internal and external threads that interlock. This novel design guarantees optimum interference contours with the best possible
accessibility of the machine spindles and the workpiece. Thanks to the centric functionality, there is not zero offset and the material allowance can simply be divided in two because it is fixed symmetrically. Stating the reason for this decision of the designers by saying, the expert says, “The parallel positioning of the workpiece ensures the highest possible clamping accuracy at a maximum loading force of 30 Kilo newton and rather operator-friendly 45 Newton metres at the dynamometric key.” This is the loading force that the TeleCentric brings to the workpiece – thanks to its new lubrication-free telescopic spindle.

Workpiece after machining

Another highlight is that ALLMATIC’s new TeleCentric comes with a standard attachment bracketsystem. No tools are required to adjust the clamping system swiftly to the new workpiece that needs to be machined. Thus, it’s possible to efficiently machine a sixth side by simply changing
a bracket. Of course, the team of developers did not forget larger span widths either. Their
solution? Simply turn the brackets around or provide longer ones.

The TeleCentric meets all requirements that one could have of a machine vice used in today’s 5- axis machining world. With this ALLMATIC product, it doesn’t even take ten seconds to change a pair of brackets, no need for tools, either. Workpieces are placed at a height of 192 millimetres. Even the weight of the TeleCentric is anything but usual: Depending on the model, and without the brackets, it weighs no more than 19.5 kilograms and thus makes it possible to optimize the production process, while guaranteeing great operator convenience in manufacturing plants.

Jaws with integrated gripper row

ALLMATIC-Jakob added new jaws to our range.

Characteristics of the jaws:

  • For five-sided machining,  ensuring best possible accessibility to the workpiece
  • For rectangular workpieces (sawn material) ≤ 0.5 mm
  • Minimal lost clamping margin of 3 mm.
  • Positive locking through penetration of the centres into the material without preprint
  • Integrated gripper row, thus rigid design to prevent vibrations especially when parts are clamped upright
  • Additional clamping surfaces, ground on both sides
  • Suitable for material strength of up to 1000 N/mm²

The following vices can be equipped with the above mentioned gripper jaws:

  • TITAN 2 K/M/L
  • TITAN SC 125
  • LCH 125

Facelift für eine Legende!

ALLMATIC-Jakob revised portfolio / TC and LC series redesigned

The machine vices of the TC and LC series are part of the renowned product range of the specialist ALLMATIC-Jakob. Maximum precision for workpiece machining, up to eleven pre-settable clamping force levels and high repeatability are the current parameters for this success. Now the experts from Unterthingau are further improving the TC and LC vices and present a uniformly structured complete series under the new label “NC8”.

 

The new product range consists of six models with various jaw widths. The NC8-90 and -125M have location holes with an inside micrometre of 200 mm, which allow the use of the most widely available zero point clamping systems. The models 125, 160 and 200 impress with their bore holes for clamping width extension. Pre-setting of the force can be carried out in seconds on all products without the need for tools. As up to now with the TC, ALLMATIC also grinds the NC8 laterally, which further increases the accuracy of the vices. The new vices are thus ideal for daily use with 3-sided and 4-sided machining. Full compatibility with the current LC / TC models is ensured without additional programming. The NC8 thus offers all essential features at attractive prices. Nevertheless, ALLMATIC guarantees availability of replacement parts for the expiring successful models LC/TC for the next 20 years.
