With the new APS zero point clamping system, users can reduce set-up times by up to 90%.
The APS zero point clamping system can be used in all operations such as turning, milling,
measuring, eroding or grinding.  This means users benefit from significantly reduced costs due
to reduced set-up times while increasing the availability of  machines throughout the production line.

3 different ranges – Basic, Premium and Top – offer optimum solutions for all application requirements.

Thanks to the SinterGrip clamping inserts, it is possible to clamp workpieces safe with a clamping
depth of just 3.5 mm, so the workpiece can be completely machined in a single operation.
This reduces the cost of materials, particularly where raw material costs considerably influence
the piece price. SinterGrip also optimizes the performance of the machine and tools: faster cutting
and feeding speeds mean larger cutting volumes and shorter machining times for each workpiece.

In addition, production steps required until now, such as workpiece pre-marking, are no longer
necessary. Eliminating the  pre-marking process reduces investment costs and saves on upstream
processing costs. Considerable time is also saved as the workpiece, it can be clamped immediately
by eliminating upstream processes.

The triangular insert with pyramidal teeth penetrates into the material, creating a positive fit
between the clamp and the workpiece. The forces and vibrations generated during machining
are evenly distributed and absorbed.

SinterGrip comes in 3 different versions for different materials: steel, hardened steel
(up to 54 HRC)/titanium and aluminium/plastic. SinterGrip is compatible with all commonly
available types of vices and clamping devices.

• Lowest clamping depth only 3.5 mm
• No pre-marking necessary
• Highest forces and active vibration absorption
• Increasing of the cutting forces compared to other systems

5-Axis Machine Tools ensures the following advantages:

• Ideal suitable for OP 10 use
• Compact design with best accessibility of the machine spindle
• High adjustable clamping forces
• Jaws with SinterGrip clamping inserts for clamping of workpieces with lowest depth and without pre-marking
• Interfaces for all well known zero point clamping systems
• Clamping range 100 mm or 200 mm

Fully sealed – protected spindle, Centrical clamping

• Toolless jaw quick change
• Clamping range extension within seconds due spindle extension
• High clamping forces - no pre punching necessary
• Protected spindle
• Plane surface for parallels used for finish machining
• Mechanical power amplifier
• Displaceable fixed jaw
• Highest reliability and repeatility
• Optical check for the end position

The GTO stationary chuck for standard collets is particularly impressive, above all due to its high
gripping force, accuracy and rigidity.

Lateral bearing surfaces also allow the chuck to be mounted vertically or horizontally. Profitability
is increased due to considerably reduced set-up times since collets can be changed very quickly.

Thanks to its extremely compact design, the GTO is ideal for 5-axis machining.

• Rapid and easy mounting
• Quick change of the standard collets
• Sensitive adjustment of the clamping force possible
• Highest repeatability ≤ 0.01 mm
• Vertical or horizontal mounting possible
• Compact design, ideal for 5-axis machining
• Pull-down effect
• 3 versions for clamping diameters 4 until 100 mm

Power vices can be pneumatic, hydraulic or spring actuated, self-centering or with a fixed jaw.
In addition, two  different jaw strokes are available: a standard stroke for maximum clamping forces
and a long stroke for extended jaw strokes. The highly compact power vices make it possible to
determine the jaw position and control the  workpiece support (SL type). This makes them ideal
for automation or for Industry 4.0 applications.

• Minimum interference due to the compact design
• Protected against contamination (SL Proofline fully sealed)
• Linear pressure adjustment
• Highest repeatability and rigidity
• Suitable for automation
• Integrated channels for air purge
• 2 jaw interfaces (Tongue & groove and fine serration 1.5 x 60°)
• Wide range of standard products

SMW-AUTOBLOK offers two different multiple clamping systems: CV with serration 2.5 x 60° and TB with
serration 2.0 x 60°. Both of these multiple clamping systems come with different jaw widths and lengths.
For the CV system, the "CLAK-SYSTEM" quick change system for jaws and parallels is available as an option. 
The user can also clamp safe raw parts using jaws fitted with SinterGrip clamping inserts (see photo).

• Best use of the machine table
• Wide range of standard accessories
• Highest efficiency due to rapid set-up times
• Maximum flexibility: can be used for single or multi clamping on the machine table and also on tombstones

with the shortest  possible delivery times. The tombstones can also be individually equipped with a
wide variety of stationary clamping systems and delivered ready for operation. Suitable geometries
offer optimum accessibility to the machine spindle with the highest accuracy and precision.
The RT tombstones are available in steel (hardened steel if required), cast iron or aluminium
