Quick-Change System Reduces Change-Over Time
The CentroteX System from Hainbuch America is designed to process multiple parts of varying sizes that require various clamping methods.
The CentroteX System from Hainbuch America is designed to process multiple parts of varying sizes that require various clamping methods.
A precision-machined adaptor/flange plate is aligned with centrex interface, and comes equipped with a bayonet mount and a drawtube adapter. This in turn accommodates a variety of chucks and holding devices that can be connected and locked by six fasteners. According to the company, change-over time of the system is less than six minutes. The system is designed to maintain repeatability and has a change-over accuracy of 0.002 mm.
The system features a Monteq mounting aid for large and heavy clamping devices. The mounting aid is designed to offer improved balance and ease of component handling during change-over through the use of a suspension bar on a lathe or an overhead crane. Gradations on the device assist in the alignment of the horizontal axis, and non-threaded quick-action bolts secure the workholding device for loading or removal.
The system is equipped with a clamping device container that is customized to hold chucks or other equipment when not in use. The unit moves on heavy-duty casters, and features a retractable hood to shut out contaminants and maintain the integrity of the stored components.
