Hainbuch’s centroteX S clamping device changeover system is a mini version featuring all the centroteX technology, but with the additional advantage of providing actuation with just one screw. This feature is designed to save even more setup time and enable a robot to quickly change the clamping device.
With lesser tightening torque required than with the large variant (the centroteX M), the centroteX S can be assembled more quickly. It is also said changeovers can be executed with the highest repeatability and with a more ergonomic operation. With its diameter of just 52 mm and the small outer diameter of 224 mm, centroteX S is well suited for machines with a small workspace.
According to the company, setup has never been so simple with the machine adapter permanently mounted on the spindle. It is said the adapter and the adapter counterpart (which is equipped with the clamping device) can be exchanged within the shortest time possible. The company says the result is shorter setup times, fast ROI and increased cutting times. The centroteX systems can be utilized with either a Hainbuch-supplied chuck or the customer’s existing chuck.
