SCHUNK, the competence leader for clamping technology and gripping systems is showcasing its range of clamping and tool holding devices at the on going ACMEE 2016. The company is highlighting its flagship products VERO-S, the modular quick-change zero point pallet system and TENDO E, Hydraulic Tool Holder apart from range of other products like robotic accessories & gripping systems, Vise, fixture, lathe chuck, modular assembly automation, tool changer, utility coupler, among others. The event is scheduled from June 16-20, at Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai.

VERO-S, the modular quick-change zero point pallet system

Quick-change pallet system for extremely fast re-setting of work pieces, clamping devices or other equipment on modren 3-, 4- or 5-axis machining centers. Lengths of pipes, shafts, and other small parts can be precisely clamped with the SCHUNK VERO-S SEZ within a very short time, and can be machined from five sides with an optimal accessibility. The same applies for unstable workpieces with a short shank.

Since the system can be quickly made ready for use, it is particularly suitable for machining individual pieces, small series such as plungers and ejectors in tool and mold making. First of all, the comparably light but robust collet chuck module is put onto an existing SCHUNK VERO-S quick-change module, is equipped with a workpiece, and then the pull-down jaw system is activated. This ensures a maximum clamping precision, great dimensional stability, and an adjustable depth stop provides for a great repeat accuracy. Coolant is discharged through an integrated drain. Since the system can be used together with all common ER collet chucks, it provides a maximum degree of flexibility to the users. The SCHUNK VERO-S SEZ collet chuck modules are available for SCHUNK VERO-S NSE plus 138-V1 (ER 32-120 and ER 40-120), and VERO-S NSE mini 90-V1 (ER 25-100) quick-change pallet modules. The clamping diameter amounts from 2 to 20 mm (ER 32-120), 3 to 26 mm (ER 40-120), or 1 to 16 mm (ER 25-100). The maximum clamping depths is 96 mm (VERO-S SEZ), or 85 mm (VERO-S SEZ mini).

Air and coolant filtration systems of the Italian company will be displayed at Mazak Hall – B128a

Losma will showcase its solutions dedicated to safeguarding workshop environment at the ACMEE 2014 exhibition, taking place in Chennai from 19th – 23rd June 2014.

Operating for 40 years in air and coolant filtration market used in mechanical workings, Losma offers to machine tool manufacturers and end user a wide range of solutions and technologies, able to meet all market needs. From the know-how, Losma has reached during its long market experience, comes the company’s wide range of filtration systems, composed by two families:

Air Filters for oil mists: centrifugal, static or electrostatic filtration systems, able to catch gas particles with the dimensions of a drop up to micro-mists and smokes with a filtration efficiency of 99,95%. Air flows may vary from a few cube metres per single machine installations to thousands of cube metres for centralized systems.

Coolant filters for coolant and liquids: TNT, drum, gravity or high head liquid systems able to remove metallic and non-metallic particles, up to 1 micron. Capacities varies from a few litres per minute for single machine installation to hundreds of litres per minute for centralized systems.

Among Losma’s products for air filtration, GALILEO, a centrifugal aspirator for mist, vapour and smokes in workshops, characterized by high efficiency at the lowest electric consumption and fast and easy maintenance process, will be on display. Galileo combines the benefits of a new compact design with the dynamic and static filtration – this working process permits to convert to liquid state, the oil contained in the air, securing the maximum efficiency and allowing to send back oil into the machine tool for re-use, avoiding wastage. For coolant filtration there is MINI-MASTER, a high liquid head filters with TNT tissue treating flow rates ranging from 60 to 400 l/min of neat oil or emulsion, containing both metallic and non-metallic particles. Main features of this series are the compact form factor and the high filtration efficiency, whose degree can be varied by changing the type of filter fabric used; the filtration process is completely automatic.
