Lang Technovation’s 52- and 96-mm Quick-Point clamping systems offer a 2-in-1 solution for greater flexibility, high precision and shorter setup times. The Quick-Point is said to combine all the features that make a zero-point clamping system special. A new series within the Quick-Point zero-point clamping system takes this to the next level and enables users even greater flexibility in their manufacturing needs.
The Combi series offers two different grid dimensions in one zero-point unit with selected plate types from Lang Technovation’s zero-point clamping system now available as a combo version. The Combi series with integrated 52- and 96-mm zero-point grid enables users to clamp the complete range of applicable Lang vises in the same zero-point unit.
The flexibility of the mechanical zero-point clamping system is further increased in terms of application versatility, while at the same time reducing the time required for changeovers. In smaller machine tools with little travel in the Z-direction, the elimination of an additional adapter plate can also be helpful.
The combo plates are available in square and round designs, as well as in a version with a clamping edge. Lang Technovation also offers its combo solution as a 5-axis riser and as a twin base for 3-axis machines and rotaries.
