Product catalog summary

Overview of aptoCLAMP System

The aptoCLAMP system is a modular clamping solution engineered for heavy-duty machining tasks, including complex 5-axis operations. It delivers high clamping forces up to 7000 daN (7 tons), suitable for heavy roughing. The system features slanted clamp modules to improve accessibility on 5-axis machines.

Key Features and Innovations

  • Modular Design: Utilizes a base rail with 2 mm pitch serration for rapid, precise positioning of clamping and stop modules.
  • Play-Free Engagement: Elastic deformation of a lip ensures backlash-free fit between modules and base rail, enhancing machining stability.
  • Force Absorption: Clamping and machining forces are absorbed on the robust upper surface of the base rail; clamping modules anchor via an expandable wedge engaging the round serration inside the rail.
  • Expandable System: Additional clamping modules can be inserted between existing points without difficulty.
  • Development Lineage: Evolved from the powerCLAMP system to accommodate larger workpieces.

Operating Instructions and Maintenance

  • Loosen two screws to reposition modules, then retighten securely.
  • Fully retract clamping jaws before positioning new modules to ensure secure clamping.
  • Regular lubrication of clamping jaws and screws with grease is essential for optimal performance.
  • Adhere strictly to torque specifications: max 200 Nm for main screws, 50 Nm for smaller screws.

Technical Specifications

  • Clamping Force: Up to 7000 daN (7 tons).
  • Torque Limits: Main screws up to 200 Nm; smaller screws up to 50 Nm.
  • Screw Sizes: M10 to M16, matched with torque and clamping force ratings.
  • Base Rails: ACB 40-50 series with load capacities from 400 kg to 800 kg.
  • Module Dimensions: Clamping widths of 115, 125, and 150 mm; clamping heights of 25 and 50 mm.

Module Types and Ordering Codes

The system includes:

  • Clamping Modules (Spannmodul)
  • End Modules (Anschlagmodul)
  • Supporting Modules (Trägermodul)
  • Blanks (Rohling)

Clamping jaws vary by type and surface finish (flat, serrated, mixed). Modules can be nitrated or through hardened, with optional carbide coatings. Ordering codes specify module type, jaw type, length, stroke, and special features like 5-axis compatibility or nitriding.

Component Details and Assembly

  • Modules comprise clamps, clamping wedges, spring plungers, pull springs, brackets, and indexing balls.
  • Detailed assembly instructions and part numbers are provided for each variant.
  • Ordering examples facilitate correct configuration.

Safety and Best Practices

  • Strictly observe maximum torque values to prevent damage.
  • Ensure clamping jaws are fully retracted before repositioning modules.
  • Maintain regular lubrication to preserve system integrity and performance.
  • Use slanted clamp modules for optimal access on 5-axis machines.

Product Identification and Ordering

Models include AAND and AA5X series in sizes 115-50, 125-50, and 150-50. Each model has specific part numbers and multilingual ordering examples (German, English, French) to support international procurement.

Component Specifications and Assembly Details

Each clamping module consists of components such as pull springs, clamps, clamping wedges, spring plungers, brackets, and supports. Hardware specifications include screw sizes and standards (e.g., M12x50 ISO 4762, M16x70 ISO 4762, M5x10 ISO 4762, M3x6 DIN 7991). Module weights range from approximately 4.5 kg to 5.2 kg depending on configuration.

Torque and Mechanical Parameters

Clamping modules are rated for torque values such as 2 x 200 Nm and 4 x 100 Nm, indicating the mechanical clamping forces applicable.

Modular Components and Accessories

Additional components include end modules, end jaws, universal nuts, steel parallels, and inserts with corresponding part numbers and dimensions. Accessories like universal holders and soft jaws are available for delicate clamping needs.

Standards and Fastener Details

Fasteners comply with international standards including ISO 4762, DIN 7991, ISO 2338, ISO 4017, and DIN 7984. Fastener types include hexagon socket head screws, spring plungers, O-rings, and bayonet screws, ensuring quality and compatibility.

Ordering Examples and Language Support

Ordering instructions are provided in German, English, and French, facilitating clear communication and accurate procurement worldwide.
