DiaClamp®-base unit

The base unit of DiaClamp® forms the central structural and functional module of the clamping system. It provides the mechanical interface to the zero-point clamping system of the machine tool and ensures the precise positioning of the two interchangeable cassettes. The unit impresses with its high rigidity and vibration damping, which are essential for the reliable machining of complex workpieces.

The base unit of the DiaClamp® system contains:

• the interface to the machine tool's zero-point clamping system,
• precisely defined mountings for the pair of interchangeable cassettes,
• the precision-mounted guide and bearing of the drive spindle for the linear movement of the clamping head
• a highly rigid, weight-optimised design for maximum process stability.

The geometry of the base unit is designed for maximum accessibility for machining tools, measuring probes and sensors. This supports full integration into automated machining and testing processes in accordance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive (EU) 2023/1230.

The geometry of the DiaClamp is optimised for accessibility for:

• Machining tools with their tool holders,
• measuring probes and
• future sensor technology.

Two pneumatic valves are integrated for manual operation: one for cleaning the contact surfaces, the other for activating the roof support.

Manual and automated operation

• Cleaning of the contact surfaces
• Roof support for workpiece stabilisation

A robot interface enables handling with a robot system for repeatable, collision-free and precise machining processes in a production cell.

Standards reference & conformity

• MVO 2023/1230: Meets requirements for functional safety, risk minimisation, automation and tamper protection.
• ISO 12100 & ISO 8015: Supports safe, repeatable and dimensionally accurate workpiece clamping in accordance with geometric product specification (ISO / GPS).
