Selection for the right tools

To select correct components of the clamping system it isnecessary to take an inventory of the machine types and models in use. These data in conjunction with the shape, dimensions and weight of the workpieces allow a proper selection to be made. In addition, requirements for pre- sent or future automatic loading of workpieces should be considered.For workpieces with a weight up to 30 kg (66,15 lbs) anddimensions up to 200 x 180 mm (7.88 x 7.09 ) it is re-commended to use pallet system including holders shown in this catalogue. Special holders (pages 30 & 31) can al- so be designed upon request to offer additional flexibility for clamping workpieces. For larger workpieces of various dimensions and weightsup to 150 kg (330 lbs) the HIRSCHMANN frame concept is recommended. It can also be used with the pallet system to hold smaller workpieces. Starting with a Basic Set 4000 plus (partial or full frame system), is an economical way to fixture the machine tool. Additional components of the 4000 system (additional Basic Set or pallet holders), can be applied based on day to day needs. pallet system frame/beam system
