Conventional clamping devices, such as jaw chucks or mandrels
perform two functions: Centering and clamping. TALEMENT, on
the other hand, is a clamping fi xture that is designed exclusively
for clamping. However it is extremely effi cient in performing this
function.
TALEMENT is a highly elastic membrane that is preferably actuated
with air, but it can also be actuated with liquid media. As
a jaw chuck the chuck has wear-resistant segments that have
been joined through a vulcanization process. Due to the high
elasticity of the membrane the element follows the form of the
work piece and thus prevents excessive deformation. Even formal
deviations in the millimeter range can be easily compensated
with TALEMENT. The clamping elements are fi rmly clamped after
placement. Whether short or long, TALEMENT is ideal for out-ofround
and thin-walled work pieces such as pipe sections, rings,
or all fragile components. Sometimes the results even surprise
our experts. Combined with the vibration dampening effect this »compensating clamping« is a genuine workholding revolution. |
