Clamping systems from AMF

Optimising cost efficiency entails making savings somewhere. The most effective way to do this is to utilise our analysis and consulting service on the potential savings to be made with our clamping solutions. Shorter set-up times save time and money while our high-tech solutions rapidly pay for themselves, especially when it comes to finish machining, test fixtures and changer systems. With sensor monitoring, media ducts, indexing, isolated applications and blow out for automated use, you can always get ahead and will see the impact on your bottom line.

Our clamping systems are as versatile as the practical applications out there. With equally diverse benefits.

This is because within clamping technology we offer multiple products that focus on different aspects. For integrated solutions we apply:
Modular fixture systems – flexible clamping technology for small to medium lot sizes with a breadboard-based modular system, plus mechanical clamping systems for multiple workpieces.
Hydraulic clamping technology – an efficient and economical method for clamping workpieces with different geometric contours which is highly suitable for series production.
The zero point system – a revolution in clamping technology that cuts the current set-up time by up to 90% as fixing, positioning and clamping are combined in a single operation. Other unique selling points include hardened stainless steel, an integrated safety system, good retaining forces in a compact design, positive locking and maximum ease of use.

Once you have recognised that you can optimise set-up times with clamping technology, finding innovative solutions becomes a constant quest. This is where our latest product developments come in:
Magnetic clamping technology – the latest generation offers high retaining force in compact formats and cost-effective application through a range of standard and customer-specific dimensions.
Automated welding – the uniquely flexible clamping system right out of the construction kit, which was awarded the 2005 Innovation Prize by the rural district of Esslingen, dispenses completely with expensive fixtures that cannot be reused. Available in steel and stainless steel.
Positioning system for laser marking – a one-off in laser marking is the coordinates pitch system which avoids time-consuming set-up and positioning processes.
