At the Seco Tools Inspiration through Innovation 2018 event, Schunk Intec will again be demonstrating its leading gripping systems and clamping technology. Schunk will be demonstrating its technology on two machine tools at the event.

Hosted by a leading cutting tool manufacturer, the Seco event will be held at its UK headquarters from the 9-10 October in Alcester and the schedule will include seminars, tutorials, more than 15 machining demonstrations and over 50 exhibiting technical partners. Schunk will be an integral part of the machining demonstrations with its Kontec KSC 160 centric clamping vice with reversible grip jaws, the VERO-S Zero, VERO-S NSL 3 and Vero NSE PLUS being demonstrated at the event.

Central to the Schunk display will be the new Kontec KSC-F single-acting vise and the KSC 6-jaw gripper vise. Described as the next generation in efficient workholding systems, the modular configuration of the KSC-F is credit to the VERO-S interface and the 160° quick clamping system that can be adapted to new clamping tasks in no time at all.

This efficient all-rounder for raw and finished part machining is suitable for manual and automated machine loading. The new KSC-F demonstrates a quick-adjustment of the clamping range, flat design and a lightweight and robust design. These attributes ensure the perfect conditions for use in pallet storage units. The sizes KSC-F 80, KSC-F 125, and KSC-F 160 are particularly designed for the common machine tool pallet sizes of 320x320mm, 400x400mm, and 500x500mm. The new KSC-F achieves high clamping forces even at a comparably low torque level.

The KSC-F works in tandem with the new KSC 6-jaw gripper vise and this combination will be on show at the Seco event. The six fold grip jaw system performs exceptionally well when processing high-strength materials and the safe clamping configuration can resist extreme lateral forces when machining difficult to process materials.

Also at Inspiration Through Innovation 2018 will be the VERO-S NSE3 that incorporates a quick lock cone seal, which prevents chips or dirt from lodging in the interface. Without changing the height, it locks the last gateway of the otherwise completely sealed modules. With an enormous pull-down force of 8kN or 28kN with activated turbo function, the NSE3 has increased dimensional stability that has a positive impact on the rigidity of the clamping solutions. As a result, the highest tilting moments and transverse forces can be reliably absorbed when parts are clamped at the base for machining their height.
