EROWA MTS Palletizing System - EROWA - #2

Text version of the page

EROWA MTS The datum point tooling system The EROWA MTS (Modular Tooling System) is an open system. The maximum workpiece size exclusively depends on the possibilities offered by the machine. Whether it is a case of single palletization with one MTS chuck or multiple palletization with several MTS chucks or base plates - any combination is possible. MTS chucks can be operated manually or automatically. New jobs are set up while the machine is in productive operation. Express jobs can be positioned on the machine within seconds. After that, the previous production process can be resumed. Therefore, machine down-times are reduced to a minimum. The uncompromising monitoring of the system status of the MTS+ chucks optimizes process safety to a substantial extent. • Play-free prismatic centering in MTS single chucks. • Indexable 4 x 90°. • More than 500,000 clamping processes without any loss of power or reference accuracy. • Recess-free, air-cleanable contact surfaces • Low profile design. • Suitable for automatic pallet change. • Standardized set-up distances* of 200 mm or 250 mm on all EROWA base plates. MTS+ • Uncompromising monitoring of the system status of all MTS+ chucks. • The entire control and monitoring system of the MTS+ chucks requires only two air supply lines. *) The set-up distance is the distance between the MTS chucks on a base plate. The datum point is defined. No alignment is necessary. Minimum set-up times. The interface between the machine and the workpieces/fixtures is standardized. The modular design of the clamping equipment allows for an almost unlimited number of combinations of all the components. Make use of existing equipment. Vises, gauges and fixtures are palletized or equipped with chucking spigots and put into production right away. 5-sided machining. Once the workpiece has been clamped on an EROWA pallet, 5 sides can be machined with that one clamping process.
