Zero Point Workpiece Positioning System Available in 40 mm Sizes



SMW Autoblok has introduced the 40 mm WPS (Workpiece Positioning System) Mini featuring manual Zero Point clamping that is suited for small workpieces requiring quick part changeover.

"The WPS Mini is ideal for 5-axis machining used for milling, measuring or grinding operations. With an emphasis on flexibility and speed, users can reduce their set-up time by 90%," said a company spokesperson.

The easy to use WPS Mini features manual Zero Point clamping that attaches directly to the workpiece, provides maximum holding force of 25 kN and repeatability of <0.005 mm. Single quick actuation provides rapid open and closing of the module with only a 270° rotation.

Offering interchangeability with all types of industry stationary workholding systems, the WPS Mini is fully Proofline sealed against dirt and swarf for minimal maintenance requirements and extended service life. The system can be used with standard WPS and APS modules with specially designed clamping pins and adapters used for workpiece clamping or top mounting and are case hardened with corrosion-resistant coating.

The WPS Mini is part of SMW Autoblok's full line of WPS clamping modules offered in 60 mm, 80 mm and 160 mm heights for precision clamping of any size workpiece. All modules can be quickly and easily mounted on a T-slotted table or grid plate that is manufactured with tempered steel with a specialized coating to protect against rust and contaminants.
