Manual quick-change clamping system on lathes

SMW-Autoblok has developed the TMS-2G, which allows lathes to be transformed by manually changing the clamping system quickly and precisely.

Current systems on the market are complex (and therefore expensive), very bulky (reducing the effective travel on the Z-axis and excessively increasing the distance between the workpiece and the machine spindle bearings), and often restrict the usable bar passage. The new TMS-2G is the simplest (and therefore most cost-effective) and most compact system, allowing for a large bar passage without limitations on the Z-axis or the use of the machine bore. The advantages for customers include the great flexibility to interchange any type of clamping system, for example: - chucks of different diameters: smaller for higher cutting speeds or larger to maximize the machine's turning diameter; - 3-jaw chucks with 2-, 4-, or 6-jaw chucks to always use the correct clamping system for the workpiece; - chucks with collets for working with bars or bar stock;

- chucks with expanding collets for internal clamping;

- install a special clamping system with automatic or manual operation.

Flexibility is maximized, and when combined with the highest precision, speed, and the best quality/price ratio on the market, we're talking about a revolutionary product that can help companies achieve the goals of reduced downtime and versatility typical of modern mechanical engineering challenges.
