多様化する加工内容に最適なクランピングツール

An important element of the MAPAL HSK clamping technology is the KS clamping cartridge. The manual clamping mechanism provides maximum clamping forces that can be achieved reliably due to the simple, robust construction. The KS clamping cartridge is used in spindles and basic holders, directly or via adapter flanges.

Due to their high radial run-out accuracy and the resulting even cutting action as well as the excellent vibration damping, MAPAL hydraulic chucks guarantee optimal workpiece finishes. In addition, microstructure cracking on the tool cutting edge is prevented by the hydraulic system, the tool lives increased and costs reduced. The high clamping reliability is ensured even at high spindle speeds. The chucks can be adjusted to the μ thanks to axial and radial length adjustment.

Using the shrink chucks ThermoChuck the tools can be accurately clamped for almost all milling operations. High torque transmission and radial rigidity characterise this chuck. Long-term radial run-out accuracy and repetition accuracy of < 3 μm in the location bore guarantee high dimensional accuracy at the workpiece. The shrink chucks from MAPAL are finely balanced as standard so that high surface finishes and long tool lives are ensured. 

Mechanical chucks impress due to their simple construction and the uncomplicated handling. The clamping is safeguarded regardless of the direction of rotation even at high spindle speeds. The standard programme for mechanical tool clamping covers precision drill chucks that are also available in a micro design with direct clamping from 0.2 mm. Due to the modular design, the drill chucks are available with all forms of machine-side tool bodies. Collet chucks, Weldon and Whistle Notch chucks round off the programme of mechanical chucks.

MAPAL's power chuck impresses with its strong clamping capacity, easy handling and significantly improved radial run-out. The location bore is manufactured in the single digit μm range and therefore with significantly more precision than before. This reduces the radial play of the clamped tool and significantly improves radial run-out. The large tolerance on the lateral clamping surface is also compensated. Here MAPAL relies on a spring element in the connection that makes possible a defined form closure between tool and connection. Cooling channels parallel to the axis in the clamping range also ensure improved coolant supply. To simplify the handling, a two-piece clamping element is used. This reduces the tightening torque while maintaining the same clamping force, enabling the tool to be reliably clamped in the connection manually.
