Multi-Axis Workholding
February 1, 2016
AMT Innovations offers its Get-A-Grip workholding product. The triangular dovetail is built so that it does not distort or deform the workpiece. The dovetail provides three evenly spaced, radial force vectors for enhanced gripping. "Through carefully thought out triangular contact geometry, this product eliminates the need for an indexing pen," said a company spokesperson. The internal clamping geometry is designed to reduce material preparation area and can be strategically placed where the finished part may have a pocket that reduces secondary operations.
"Get-A-Grip revolutionizes traditional workholding products for multi-axis CNC machining," said the spokesperson. "Made in the USA, AMT uses the Stainless Steel Logo on the product. The use of robust materials and innovative design elements bring flexibility and time-saving benefits to AMT's customers which will result in an increase in production and profits."
Multiple product options allow users to apply this technology to palletized 4-axis horizontal CNC mills with tombstones, 5-axis CNC machines as well as CMM fixtures. Although many shops may not have 4- or 5-axis capabilities, AMT's Get-A-Grip also offers advantages for 3-axis CNC machining work and 2-axis CNC turning. The recommended maximum workpiece is 5" x 5" x 5" for Get-A-Grip Size 1.000 when using a single fixture. It is possible to hold a larger workpiece when using multiple fixtures.
