HMC series
Hydraulic centre clamp
The HydraulicMechanicalClamp series was designed for mass production to meet today’s industrial requirements. Thanks to its versatility, it no longer matters whether the workpiece is loaded into the centre clamp by the user or by a robot. The HMC series is the most reliable centre clamp for automated 5-axis machining.
High and adjustable clamping force
High clamping forces ensure a secure hold, but can also lead to deformation of the workpiece. For this reason, the HMC series offers the best solution. When the HMC is operated at maximum pressure, the centre clamping device ensures high clamping forces. If these are too high, the clamping force can be individually adjusted to suit the workpiece via the pressure setting on the machine.
Automation solutions
Gremotool offers a range of solutions for controlling the HMC series. Whether you wish to have the robot feed a media coupling to the HMC, or control it manually via a hand valve or via the machine through a rotary union, the choice is yours. We have developed solutions for the most common interfaces.
Low-maintenance
The chip- and water-repellent design of the HMC series prevents foreign particles from entering the mechanism. This ensures that lubrication is maintained and extends maintenance intervals. Care has been taken in the design to ensure there are no recesses where chips and water can become trapped. This allows the centre chuck to be easily cleaned using an air gun, a water gun or automatically via the machine spindle itself.
