Zero-point clamping system
Zero-point clamping system - What for?
Due to expensive downtimes of machine tools, usage of zero-point clamping systems is getting more and more important. A zero-point clamping system connects workpieces, vices, pallets or fixtures to a machine tool table precisely within seconds. The machining time of workpieces can be used more efficiently if a second or third pallet gets set up outside of the machine tool during its running time.
A practical example for a zero-point clamping system
You have to execute several milling jobs on your CNC machining centre. Workpieces A, B, C and D shall be machined successively. You set up the machine, measure and start the programme – the machining starts.
While your machine tool works on job A you set up the workpieces B, C and D outside of the machining centre on their respective clamping devices.
As soon as workpiece A has been finished you take out the clamping device, place workpiece B into the zero-point clamping system highly accurately and start the second programme.
The downtime of the machine tool is decreased to only a few seconds.
Now you can take workpiece A out of your clamping device or just leave it clamped and immediately put it into the zero-point clamping system of your measuring machine, EDM machine or another machining centre without any delay.
With this procedure you can finish your complete batch with a minimum of downtime.

Applications of the Quick-Point zero-point clamping system
LANG’s zero-point clamping system can be mounted easily to vertical and horizontal milling machines, vertical EDM machines, measuring machines, grinders, drills, lathes, or other machining centres.
You only have one zero-point clamping system and hence only one interface for various technologies. The simple mechanical actuation by just one screw guarantees quick changeover of your clamping devices which finally reduces non-productive downtime of your machine-tool. With Quick-Point you optimise production processes and thus make your manufacturing more profitable.
With a pull-down force of 6 tons even larger fixtures can be clamped securely and accurately without any risks. The high repeat accuracy of better than 0.005 mm guarantees consistent quality of your manufactured parts.
Quick-Point fits to every machining centre and can be clamped manually, pneumatically or hydraulically.
