Firstly, a 0.5 mm high tuning ring is inserted between the quick-change pallet module and the fixture membrane. The workpiece geometry is then milled according to the blank on the fixture's clamping surface. Once prepared, workpieces can be inserted within seconds, says Schunk.
The complete circumference is clamped by locking the Vero-S module, which in turn deforms the fixture membrane to provide the clamping force. The membrane is actuated via an SPC quick-change clamping pin that connects with the pneumatically actuated quick-change pallet module.
The fixture membrane can be located on the quick-change pallet module with a repeat accuracy of better than 0.01 mm. Maximum workpiece diameter is 120 mm.
