Multi-Zone Magnetic Clamping
Multi-Zone Magnetic Clamping are an innovative solution for maximising flexibility and efficiency in workpiece clamping. With this technology, different areas of a clamping device can be controlled independently of each other, enabling precise and customised clamping of different workpieces.
The advantage of Multi-Zone Magnetic Clamping is that they allow specific adjustments to be made to the respective workpieces. Each clamping area can be activated or deactivated individually, depending on the requirements of the workpiece. This ensures optimum clamping force and positioning, resulting in reliable and secure clamping.
In a special application of the separately switchable clamping areas, the workpiece is pulled to a stop by the magnetic force in an initial clamping process and then the remaining clamping surface is magnetised to hold the workpiece with full magnetic force over the entire surface.
The advantages of separately switchable clamping areas are therefore manifold, including
- Efficient utilisation of the clamping device
- Reduced energy consumption
- Improved accessibility for machine tools
- Customised fixing of the workpieces.
