Precision Workholding System

"Emuge Corp. offers the System SG workholding solution featuring a unique design for exceeding in all-around performance," said a company spokesperson. With its expanding-bush design, Emuge's System SG is used in machining operations such as hobbing, shaping and shaving for gear production, as well as milling and inspection. The System SG's large surface area contact with the workpiece provides a clamping solution designed to be rigid, accurate and repeatable.

The Emuge SG is designed to accommodate loading by hand or automation, and has high transferable torque values while maintaining micron accuracy. "System SG's excellent performance can be largely attributed to its ability to utilize a substantial portion of the workpiece surface area," said David Jones, Emuge Precision Workholding Product Manager. "The high surface contact value allows tolerance averaging for better accuracy, as well as higher transferable torque values with lower initial clamping forces."

In addition, as the clamping cycle initiates, the System SG applies slight axial movement of the workpiece. The movement adds rigidity to the system by pressing the workpiece against an end stop. If the workpiece stop surface is inaccurate, a floating end stop design can be used to remove the uneven surface variable while maintaining the required rigidity. The Emuge System SG can accommodate a part family with easily exchanged part touching details, resulting in fast changeovers from one workpiece to the next, while maintaining consistency.
