F-Tool ZPS Duo-Compact

universal tightening options for manual or automatic use

The F-Tool ZPS Duo-Compact with PowerFlex centring is a precise and economical zero point clamping system for manual or automatic use.

The centring is made up of two F-Tool PowerFlex centring rings in the ZPS base unit which are compressed when the pallets are clamped by the conically ground clamping bolts, forming a friction-type connection. The long-proven, highly precise spring steel centring is therefore used in a new form. The independent clamping mechanism, in this case a centrally installed MTS chuck, presses the pallet into the Z-layer of the base unit with a remarkable 12,000N of clamping force. The revolving Z-layer of the ZPS basis unit provides optimal stability whilst preventing the penetration of cleaning agents, dirt and shavings.

The relatively large Z-layer provides optimal contact with the pallet, which has a particularly positive effect on the vibration behaviour of the machine and low tool wear in performance milling. The Z-layers of the aluminium pallets do not require any additional reinforcement.

The inexpensive and thin pallets can be left in the robot storeroom to save space and were developed for a wide range of uses. The pallets are available in various designs and can be bored out any which way in order to provide access from behind for the screwing together of tools, vices or devices outside of collision radii.

The F-Tool ZPS Duo-Compact can be oriented easily and conveniently to the machine coordinates over the centre of the chuck and the integrated aligning gauge without the need for additional tools.

With this newly developed product F-Tool is addressing a large target audience in tool- and mould-making, as well as in precision mechanics, which doesn’t want to miss out on quality and performance as well as price.
