SMW Autoblok is introducing the CC e-motion electric 4-jaw chuck featuring wireless power and signal transmission (up to a 20 mm distance) utilizing an F180 Ethernet base inductive coupler system and high repeatability of < 5 µm.
"Ideal for everyday use, the CC e-motion offers unbeatable accuracy and flexibility for high or low volume turning, inspection and finishing operations while providing fast, seamless machine integration," said an SMW Autoblok spokesperson. Designed for either heavy duty or precision machining of any workpiece geometry, the chuck allows users to not only program the cutting cycle, but the jaw movement and gripping cycle as well.
Whether the application requires highest accuracy or high-low chucking, the individual electro-mechanical single jaw drive of the CC e-motion allows grip force setting to any value as well as automatic radial fine adjustment of the workpiece. "There is no other fully integrable chucking system available on the market making this programmable power chuck completely revolutionary to the industry," said the spokesperson. "Plus, the ability to handle any workpiece shape and configuration of parts means fewer changeovers and reduced downtime with improved part quality."
Designed to meet the demands of manufacturing automation and Industry 4.0, CC e-motion includes redundant safety monitoring that displays the status of the chuck while in operation, letting the user know if the chuck is open, closed, improperly clamped or has insufficient clamping force, all at-a-glance.
Each jaw of the CC e-motion is independently controlled and monitored by a single mechatronic drive providing automatic correction function and the ability to change the grip force in process without removing the part. The chuck body and internal parts are case hardened for increased chuck life and accept standard inch serrated top jaws.
The plug and play CC e-motion uses the innovative F180 Ethernet base coupler system that transmits up to 400 W of energy and data contact-free through an air gap of up to 20 mm between rotating and stationary components. The IP67 rated coupler is wear and maintenance-free and is suited for use as slip rings or connector replacements as well as other applications.
Every component of this chuck package is developed and manufactured by SMW Autoblok which offers worldwide sales and service support in over seventy countries across all continents.
