Installation and Mounting
  • Chucks can be built-in, semi built-in, or built-up on machine tables or baseplates.
  • Installation requires specifying machine table data, and hydraulic/air nipples are included in the plate price.
  • Various configurations are available with or without fixation holes.
Advantages
  • Mechanical locking ensures maximum work safety.
  • Conical clamping spigots allow space-saving mounting.
  • Spring centring provides pinpoint accuracy.
  • Automation-capable designs are available for enhanced operational efficiency.
Spare Parts Overview
The document provides a detailed list of spare parts for various Delphin systems, including HSP, HHP, HCP, PHP, and PSP. Each section lists the position, quantity, article number, and description of parts such as O-rings, cup springs, screws, balls, rings, and covers.
Service Recommendations
It is recommended to perform a minor service every year, which includes exchanging springs and O-rings, cleaning, and function inspection. A major service every two years should include the replacement of all spare parts.
Delphin BIG System
The Delphin BIG zero-point clamping system is designed for large workpieces and offers significant cost savings by reducing setup times by up to 90%. It is suitable for both manual and automated applications and can accommodate thermal expansion of workpieces up to ±0.4 mm. The system provides high clamping forces and is ideal for high-performance machining.
Technical Specifications
- Workpiece weight: <10,000 kg
- Centre distance: 400 - 1000 mm
- Clamping force: 50 kN
- Holding force: 200 kN
- Hydraulic release: 40-50 bar
- Hydraulic clamping: 30 bar
- Material: Hardened steel
- Repetition accuracy: ±0.005 mm
- Compressed air: 6 bar
Installation and Mounting
The document details the installation and mounting dimensions for chucks and rings, emphasizing the protection of Z-supports and the ability to clamp non-symmetrical workpieces without issues. It also highlights the advantages of centring free of play and protected reference surfaces.
Reference Systems
The document briefly describes several reference systems, including Macro, MacroMagnum, GPS 240, GPS 70, and GPS 120, highlighting their high precision, stability, clamping force, and automation capabilities.

Preconditions for efcient, economical and exible production Every production plant uses clamping elements, jigs, xtures, reference pallet systems and many other facilities to be able to clamp the range of workpieces machined efciently and economically. The Delphin modular zero-point clamping system allows the machine table to be equipped individually with position-determining chucks. It thus allows the complete work area to be used and offers substantial advantages in relation to reducing setting times and enhanced exibility thanks to substitution of preset workpieces. Consequently, it opens...

Function of the clamping spigots centring free of play Y One special feature in relation to modular equipping of the machine tables is the option for arrangement and number of chucks. Regardless of the requirements of the application, you determine the quantity and the particular centre distance with which you wish to equip the machine table. Our recommendation: use at least 4 chucks per workpiece. You may need to work with pallets. Clamping spigot clamps with no centring function Compensating clamping spigot centred in Y direction The conical clamping spigots are mounted directly in the device...

Advantages of the hydraulic system if used horizontally Protection of the Z-support of the chuck when loading heavy devices Clamping operation Gentle lowering when clamping Contact face for gentle lowering Gentle clamping One major advantage of using hydraulic systems instead of pneumatic systems is controlled lowering of the workpieces during the clamping operation. The workpiece is lowered slowly onto the Z-supports, consequently protecting them. The Z-supports are cleaned during this clamping operation on the HHP chuck. This increases accuracy over the years and thus prolongs the service life...

Automation with Delphin Automation demands special preconditions in a clamping system, and these are already met by the Delphin versions. Actuation is either pneumatic or hydraulic, depending on Delphin clamping system. The control signals can be sent by the machine/by the robot to the corresponding machine valves. These valves then control the media lines inside the machine. There is also the option of sending the machine/robot signals directly to the Delphin chucks via the hydraulic unit. However, this requires permanently coupling the media hoses to the connection manifold. Please use our...
