Clamping magnets are also used during turning to fix the workpieces precisely and securely on the lathe. The clamping magnets are designed to have a high magnetic holding force and to hold the workpiece securely and stably in order to minimise vibrations and deformations during the turning process.

This is particularly the case with hard turning and the magnetic holding force is sufficient to utilise all the advantages over conventional clamping methods such as collets or jaw chucks in finish machining. The handling of this type of clamping speaks for itself. Magnets can be switched on and off quickly and easily, significantly reducing the workpiece changeover time and the overall machining time.

Another advantage of magnetic clamping systems for hard turning is the high degree of flexibility when machining workpieces with different geometries. As magnets offer a flat clamping surface, workpieces with complex shapes and contours can be clamped easily and precisely without the need for special clamping fixtures.

When using clamping magnets for turning, it is important to position the workpiece exactly on the lathe to ensure precise machining.

• Quick and easy clamping: Clamping magnets enable workpieces to be clamped quickly and easily, reducing set-up times.
• Uniform clamping force: The magnetic attraction force is distributed evenly over the entire contact surface of the workpiece, resulting in stable and secure fastening.
• Gentle clamping: As no mechanical clamping elements such as jaws or screws are used, the workpieces are not deformed or damaged.

• Flexibility: Clamping magnets can hold a variety of workpieces of different shapes and sizes, resulting in greater flexibility in workpiece selection.
• Better accessibility: As there are no mechanical clamping devices in the way, the cutting tools have better access to the surfaces to be machined, which enables 3-sided machining in a single clamping operation.
