Innovations Tool clamping: Clamping systems for Coromant Capto® BERG Spanntechnik offers manually, mechanically and hydraulically actuated Coromant Capto® clamping systems for static and rotating applications tailored to the requirements of the application. This especially applies to applications with a very limited installation space.
Tool clamping: Electromechanical knock-out cylinder EDZ Stationary electromechanical knock-out cylinders are used for to compress and release spring stacks of tool clamping systems in machining spindles. The integrated local control communicates with the machine control via standardized field bus protocol.
Workpiece clamping: Rotating electromechanical cylinders for actuating power operated chucks on lathe machine Value engineering has led to frequent demands for the design of an “all electric” machine. New electromechanical clamping systems have been developed for some applications, allowing machine manufacturers to completely do without hydraulics/pneumatics in the field of clamping technology. The modern electromechanical clamping cylinder EV is suitable for actuating power operated cylinders on high-end, dynamic lathes independent of the machine control system. Workpiece clamping: Small chucks Power operated chucks according to the BERG wedge bar principle have been available from Berg & Co. for more than 30 years. Optimisation of this functional principle permits extremely high clamping forces with maximum open centre capacity and minimum influence of the rotational speed on the clamping force. These advantages have now been transferred to the small construction sizes with a chuck outer diameter < 100 mm for applications in highly productive machines. Special application: Rotary joints Value engineering has led to frequent demands for the design of an “all electric” machine. New electromechanical clamping systems have been developed for some applications, allowing machine manufacturers to completely do without hydraulics/pneumatics in the field of clamping technology. The modern electromechanical clamping cylinder EV is suitable for actuating power operated cylinders on high-end, dynamic lathes independent of the machine control system.
