Clamping and Positioning Systems

Clamping and Positioning Systems for Highest Precision and Process Forces

The functional principle of the reference chuck is adapted depending on the process forces that occur. The clamping elements for the transmission of the clamping and process forces are changed with increasing forces from the ball via the roller to the segments or screws.

PRS Clamping System | Reference Clamping System
for Tools and Fixtures

PRS

Maximum precision and holding force

Positioning accuracy of +/- 0,005 mm combined with holding forces up to 25 000 N.

Modular design

Adaptation to tool geometry and different process forces.

Size graduation

The smallest size can be combined with the smallest reference clamping system RCS and PMC. Various pallet sizes cover the tooling and pressing requirements.

Pallets in various sizes can be clamped in the PRS 28-C chuck.

Through hole diameter of various clamping systems for core rods:

  • ProGrit RCS 60 = 28,5 mm
  • EROWA PM 56/60 = 25 mm
  • System 3R° Macro° 90803.50 and 90804.41 = 23 mm (draw bar 16 mm)
  • System 3R° Macro° 600.17 and 600.27 = 20 mm (draw bar 10,2 mm)

The pallets are available in two versions:

  • Centered clamping:
    The pallet is centered and clamped at a fixed angle of rotation in the chuck.
    (PRS P18, PRS P21, PRS P23, PRS P27, PRS P27ID)
  • Positioned clamping:
    The pallet is clamped via a positioning system referenced in X, Y Z and C.
    (PRS P28P, PRS P28P ID)

There are different pallet shapes and fastening methods for attaching the core rod to the pallet:

Pallets in various sizes and designs available on request.
