- Clamping surface: 250x150 mm (ext. dim. 367x164x73)
- Milling - Grinding - Diamond dressing
- Fixed icing plate
- Locating holes for "X Y" positioning of templates (optional)
- ''Z'' reference non-freeze key (optional)
- Steel shims for securing on magnetic plate (optional)
ADVANTAGES
any material can be clamped: metal, plastic, graphite, ceramics, honeycomb, fabric, neoprene, rubber .
parts of any shape are firmly held in place (no more specific assemblies)
stress-free clamping and unclamping, therefore no risk of distortion or breakage
high fastening power: 15 kg/cm2 on metal (by comparison, 12 kg/cm2 for magnetization, 1kg/cm2 for vacuum)
fast, freezes and thaws in seconds
release of the parts leaves no residue
increased rigidity for many materials (plastics, raw ceramics, neoprene,...) and improved surface condition
longer tool life
easy to set up, plates are compact and monoblock
operates simply with compressed air**
OPERATION
These compact and monoblock icing plates are very quickly set up:
connect the apparatus to the compressed air system
spray water onto the icing plate
position the part to be machined
operate the temp control button
within seconds the water freezes and the part is clamped
unclamping is done just as fast, by reversing the freeze/thaw valve.
As there is no water thickness under the part, z-axis repeatability depends only on the referential.
Because the plate evacuates the calories generated by machining.
