Avon CNC unveils SwissClamp from PL Lehmann

SwissClamp can be used on rotary tables or for direct workpiece clamping on the machine table, and is especially suitable for use with clamping towers on horizontal machining centres.

The system has a modular structure and helps users save time and money in series machining, says UK agent, Avon CNC Machine Tools.

It is suitable for mono clamping, where only one basic body is required, as well as duo clamping, where two mono clamps are mounted opposite one another.

The basic SwissClamp module is suitable for two kinds of clamping principle: Grip clamping and Finish clamping. The difference between the two principles is the chuck. While the Grip chuck is designed for pull-down clamping, the Finish jaws achieve parallel clamping. The result is a non-rotating, precise, parallel clamping that prevents indentations, says Avon CNC.
