Midwife for precicion watches
IWC manufactures watch plates with a RÖHM clamping chuck in just one clamping position
To guarantee a high standard of process reliability and repetition accuracy, IWC Schaffhausen uses the ultra-compact 5-axis machining center KERN Micro for the operation. In this machining center, the prizewinning power-operated index chuck from RÖHM’s Micro Technology series is installed. The index chuck enables doublesided machining of boards without changing the clamping position. This makes it possible for IWC to achieve maximum precision and repetition accuracy in just one clamping position with dozens of machining steps and any number of tool changes being involved.
Workpieces: Watch plates
Task: Process reliable and repeatable clamping for precise and doublesided machining of boards
Solution: Power-operated index chuck KPF-MT
Customer benefit: Highest precision and reduction of set-up time thanks to doublesided machining of boards in just one clamping position
