Magnetic Technology - Solid and yet Gentle

From SCHUNK Inc.

Fast setup, secure clamping, precise machining. What in the past met with minimal acceptance especially with respect to milling is increasingly becoming an insider's tip for reducing set-up times and simultaneously improving the machining results. MAGNOS magnetic clamping technology from SCHUNK, the specialist in toolholding, workholding and gripper technology located in Lauffen, is based on the use of electropermanent magnets and bundles decisive advantages: magnetic clamping enables machining of the workpiece from five sides, without having to be clamped a second or even a third time. Large and small workpieces can be clamped safely on the same magnetic clamping plate. MAGNOS can also be adapted optimally to the contour of the workpiece.

Products & Services
Vises
Vises are used for work holding and during inspection, assembly, forming, welding, and machining operations. They usually consist of a screw, level, or cam-type mechanism that closes and holds two or more jaws around a workpiece
Steady Rests and Follower Rests
Steady rests and follower rests are lathe accessories that hold a long workpiece steady during turning. Steady rests are mounted to the bed and do not move with the lathe. Follower rests attach to the saddle and move along with or follow the lathe.
Tool Holders
Tool holders (toolholders) are the physical interface between tooling and the machine tool. They vary in terms of machine-mount styles and are designed to perform specific applications.
Chuck Jaws
Chuck jaws are inserts that fit into a chuck and grip the workpiece. There are three types of chuck jaws: base jaws, hard jaws, and soft jaws.
Chucks
Chucks are attachments used to hold a workpiece or cutting tool on a machine tool. This product area covers a variety of chuck types, including: core, diaphragm, draw bar, electrostatic, gear, grinding, lathe, milling, pull down, roll, safety, scroll, universal, and vacuum chucks.
