Industry 4.0 is running. Hainbuch recently demonstrated how two network production solutions had propelled its own manufacturing capabilities into the digital era. This innovation even allowed the company to win a prize awarded by the association Allianz Industrie 4.0 Baden-Württemberg. Now, customers can benefit from it in turn. Hainbuch offers several intelligent clamping solutions for automation and network production.
It is now possible to leverage digital workflow data to manage process flows and optimize productivity with appropriate data analysis and processing. Even clamping technologies produce data that can help optimize process flows. For example, machining and maintenance times can be reduced, allowing more time to be spent on production.
Hainbuch will launch Toplus IQ, an intelligent chuck with integrated measuring technology capable of continuously measuring force Electronic clamping and changes during rotation. Real-time measurement of the actual clamping force. The use of an optimum clamping force makes it possible to avoid the deformation of the workpieces and the undesirable rejects. The trajectory of the clamp can also be measured as a function of the tolerances of the workpieces to be machined.
The diameter of the workpiece is thus measured and only the correct parts are processed. The result of the measurement can also be recorded to ensure traceability in accordance with DIN EN 1550. Another novelty in the brand's product catalog is an advance force control device for the feed clamp system RS.It measures the feed force electronically and calculates the ideal values.
The same parameters can be used for several feed clamps in multi-spindle machines and easily stored. Other products are part of the launch, such as the Testit clamping force measuring device, which allows the calculation of internal and external clamping forces, an automatic chuck changeover device and a Workpiece for self-machining and production of workpieces with different clamping diameters and feed depths. These Hainbuch solutions improve machine availability and process capability, and reduce upstream and downstream measurement procedures. They also help to improve quality or keep it at a high level.
