Most expensive CNC met al work ing ma chines are purchased without fixtures to hold the workpiece(s). With todayΒs so phis ti cat ed ma chines, making tool changes in frac tions of a second, and cutting at speeds we once thought impossible, the speed and quality of part clamping is the next most important opportunity for time savings and pro duc tiv i ty im prove ment. VektorFlo Special seals and wipers help keep leaks from starting by sealing fluid in and con tam i nants out. Load ed lip and crown seals virtually eliminate external (visible) and inter nal (in vis- i ble) leaks. Most devices...

Successful powered workholding does not just happen. Like any other manu fac tur ing process, it must be carefully planned. But that does not mean that you need to be a hy drau lics engineer to implement a powered work hold ing system. Designing a system involves nothing more than the common-sense ap pli ca tion of a few basic work hold ing concepts.Applications for power workholding fall into two categories: retrofits to replace and upgrade clamping on existing fixtures; and new fixtures designed from the outset with power workholding. In both cases it is im pera tive that you keep in mind the...

First, determine the nature of the op era tion to be performed, the number of parts to be processed per cycle, and whether operations will be performed on more than one surface of each part. Also determine the time that should be allowed for part loading, un load ing, and clamp ing the part.Consult your machine tool file to de ter mine the available work space on the machine table, bed, chuck or other sur face, as applicable. Be sure that the space avail able will accommodate the part or quantity of parts to be proc essed ac cord ing to your man u fac tur ing work-flow. If not, revise your plan.In...

If total estimated clamping time is not within the cycle time requirements youve targeted but is within device limitations, a larger power source is required җ one with greater capacity. Select such a source and repeat the above cal cu la tions to ensure that it will provide the clamping cycle times required. If the total estimated clamping time in the initial calculation is significantly less than the time allowed, your initial power source selection may have been too large. In such a case, select a smaller power source and repeat the above calculations to ensure that it still provides the clamping...

When I indicate my part, it bends when it is clamped. Why? Is my pump of appropriate size? It is rated for _____l/min, or _____cm > Should I use or at least consider using double acting cylinders? > This list of questions was developed by listening to customers just like you when they asked, Why didnӒt I know that? Before you order devices, build your fixture or even consider your design complete, we suggest that you run through this checklist to identify some common problems you might encounter. > Clamps should be positioned directly opposite a fixed locator, hydraulic support or other supporting...

I need to disconnect my fixture from the pump. I also need double acting clamps. How can I do this? When I look at my clamps, there are threaded holes in them. What do the labels PӔ ADVANCEӔ RETRACTӔ mean? > Industrial type double acting cylinders (even high quality ones not designed for clamping) have significant leakage across their internal seals. This leakage will not normally be externally visible. Internal leaks from one side of the piston to the other will cause pumps to cycle ex ces sive ly. > Our pallet connector was designed with a double acting port incorporated. You can add a second...

If you have questions youd like answered, call, write, fax or email us. We would be glad to help you use VektorFlo I need some type of retractable locator. After my part is loaded, I want it to ғdisappear. Do you have anything to do this? > How hot is too hot to run hydraulic fluid? Anything above 177԰C is con sid ered too hot for most hy drau lic fluids and seals. Our standard seals are rated to operate at temperatures from 4C to 71аC. Even seals made of Viton What about using seals made of Viton > ? > Seals made of fluorocarbon, such as Viton > ή, can be a good answer for high heat applications,...

Do I need to use a torque wrench and socket when installing cartridge work supports? Yes, a torque wrench and a 6 point socket is required. If you use an open end, adjustable or box end wrench you increase the chances of damaging the thread, roundness of the support sleeve or damaging the seals causing leakage between the sleeve and body. Please use an appropriate socket, torque wrench and care when installing cartridge work supports. You are correct that the impact of the re- entry of the cutter to the next web of your part will create an interruption and the mass of your straddle mill may cause...

Highly repeatable, repeats position plus or minus 0.005 mm Built in polyurethane wipers keep chips and debris out and reduces the chance of plunger/ sleeve sticking or binding May be bolted up or down to mount directly on fixture plates. May also be installed through a hole and locked in place using retaining collars for easy adjustmentStandard G 1/4 and G 1/8 porting is located in the base of the sup port for easy access to both the clamp and vent ports (bronze filter installed before shipping).VektorFlo > work supports, with their patented design features, last longer and stand up to harsh...
