Zero-Point Positioning Systems
Overview
Our zero-point positioning systems let machining, EDM, measuring and assembly stations share one common reference. Pallets are located and clamped in seconds, cutting non-productive setup time while holding repeat positioning accuracy below 0.005 mm.
Key Features
- Repeat positioning accuracy < 0.005 mm, configuration-dependent
- Pneumatic unlocking, spring mechanical locking
- High clamping and pull-down force
- Modular base plates, chucks and pull studs
Product Range
- Zero-point positioning base plate
- Zero-point positioning chuck
- Zero-point positioning tray / pallet
- Pull studs & clamping bolts
- Modular fixture series
