Freeze clamping technology

Product catalog summary

Overview of Freeze Clamping Technology
Freeze clamping technology utilizes the natural adhesion properties of ice to securely hold workpieces without mechanical force. This method is particularly beneficial for clamping sensitive or small workpieces, as it avoids deformation and damage.

Key Specifications

High holding force of up to 150 N/cm².
No residues left on workpieces after release.
Suitable for a variety of materials including metals, plastics, ceramics, and more.
Exchangeable freezing plate for different workpiece requirements.

Functional Principle
Workpieces are placed on a moistened freezing plate, which is cooled using a compressed air heat exchanger. Ice forms quickly, holding the workpieces in place. This method allows for machining on five sides of the workpiece in one operation.

Advantages

Stress-free clamping of sensitive workpieces.
No need for pre-machining of the workpiece underside.
Comparable holding force to magnetic chucks and superior to vacuum chucks.
No lubrication required, as cold increases material strength and machinability.

Industry Applications

Aerospace technology
Medical engineering
Electronics and semiconductors
Watch and jewelry industry
Precision mechanics

Product Details
The freeze clamping plates are available in various sizes with a maximum holding force of 150 N/cm². Each set includes a freeze clamping plate, a connection set with a hand lever valve, and a spray bottle.

Practical Tips

Reaction times depend on the supplied air volume flow.
Cold enhances the strength of many materials, improving machinability.

Procedure

Connect the freeze plate to a pure, dry air supply.
Spray water on the freezing plate.
Place the workpiece.
Freeze the workpiece.
Machine the workpiece.
Unfreeze the workpiece.

Clamping with ice – is this reliable? Functional principle Ice offers excellent adhesion. Just think of the hoarfrost on windshields, or the tray of ice stuck in your fridge freezer. Freeze clamping technology makes use of this property. Workpieces are placed on the moistened freezing plate, which is cooled down using a compressed air heat exchanger. Ice forms after Freezing plate a few seconds, and its natural properties hold the workpieces in place. Freeze clamping technology is used for complicated applications with filigree or fragile workpiece in a wide variety of manufacturing areas. Advantages...

Freeze clamping plates SPGF Application example, mounted on palletizing system Air connections W = warm / C = cold The compact and monoblock freeze clamping plates can be used very quickly and easily: 1. Connect the freeze plate to the air supply (pure, dry air) 2. Spray water on the freezing plate • The reaction times of the freeze clamping plates are dependent with the supplied air volume flow. • The cold increases the strength of many materials (plastics, raw ceramics, ferrite, neoprene, etc.) and improves machinability. Conventional lubrication is also no longer necessary. 1 Freeze clamping...
