Self-Aligning Fixturing Elements
February 1, 2014
Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. (AME) offers Amflex Modular Workholding - S.A.F.E. .
AMFLEX modular workholding components are designed to fit standard tombstones and grid bases but may be utilized with other traditional workholding systems. The components are designed for optimal clamping of a wide variety of parts and can be used on a variety of machine tools, both manual and CNC.
S.A.F.E. elements use ball pads to support the workpiece. These ball pads are flexible and align themselves to the contour of the workpiece. "The clamping bars also have ball pads, therefore distortion of the part is practically eliminated," said a company spokesperson. "When properly applied, the AMFLEX system guarantees flexible positioning and stress-free clamping."
The expanded Amflex Modular Fixturing product line includes hydraulic and pneumatic fixtures, modular components, S.A.F.E. grids, force cartridges, tombstones and high-density workholding systems for dedicated or manual fixturing.
A variety of precision grid bases, ball elements, spring supports, V-block supports, locators and clamping components are also available.
