The 5-axis clamping jaw system was designed to be a simple solution for 4th and 5th axis machining without having to perform a pre-op prior to running your parts.
A centering disk 38.1mm can be mounted to the bottom of base unit for quick centerline location on faceplates featuring a centering hole. The base plate is also configured with two drill bushings for use with diamond and tapered pins. This provides a quick change and precise mounting option.
Centering disk and pins included in accessory pack.
1. Mount unit to faceplate/sub-plate using M12 SHCS. Note: Gripping Jaws can be adjusted to workpiece size by simply loosening jaw bolts c with support bolt b removed. Serrated rails have inch and metric indicators, which align with inboard face of jaws.
2. Loosen Jaw bolts and adjust to approximate width using workpiece. Tighten Jaw bolts; ensuring jaws are properly aligned in serrations and not pinching workpiece between hard stops. Tighten support bolt until desired load/unload clearance is achieved.
Note: An adjustable locator is provided if workpiece extends beyond jaw. Install on either jaw for precise repeatability of workpiece. Adjust and lock in place with provided locking nut (wrench and thumb screw in accessory pack). Note: If precise location of workpiece is required a torque sequence on gripper bolts e is recommended and must be performed in same manner to achieve consistent results.
3. Secure workpiece by tightening both gripper bolts on one jaw then gripper bolts on opposite jaw. Grippers are capable of producing over 6,000 pounds of force and .060” penetration into workpiece.
The part is now ready to machine.
