WHY SETUP TIME IS COSTING YOU PRODUCTIVITY

In modern machining environments, efficiency determines profitability

Long setup times reduce spindle utilization
Manual re-alignment increases downtime
Inconsistent positioning affects precision
Frequent re-clamping slows down production

Every minute spent on setup is a minute lost in value creation.

AMF Zero-Point clamping systems eliminate these inefficiencies and create a stable, repeatable clamping foundation.

THE SOLUTION: AMF ZERO-POINT CLAMPING SYSTEMS

Designed to reduce setup time, increase repeatability, and
ensure secure clamping even under demanding machining conditions.

Setup in seconds instead of minutes

Change fixtures and workpieces up to 90% faster – without re-adjustment and with consistent precision.

Precision that lasts

Clamp and position with repeatability below 5 µm – reliably accurate, even after thousands of changeovers.

Maximum clamping force, secure holding

The ball-lock clamping principle with a large contact surface achieves holding forces of up to 105 kN – ensuring maximum stability and process reliability.

Durable and low-maintenance

Engineered for long service life and minimal maintenance requirements in demanding industrial environments.

HOW AMF ZERO-POINT CLAMPING SYSTEMS WORKS

Discover zero-point clamping systems designed to reduce setup times and improve process reliability in modern manufacturing.

AMF Zero-Point Clamping Systems use a ball-lock clamping principle with an integrated pull-down mechanism that securely locks and positions clamping studs in the clamping module.

Mechanical or pneumatic actuation options
High clamping forces
Self-centering design
Integrated pull-down function
Designed for 5-axis and automated machining

SATISFIED CUSTOMERS REPORT:
PROVEN PERFORMANCE IN XXL MACHINING APPLICATIONS

Long before a new car model hits the road, it can be seen and touched at a Bavarian model builder – at least, if it weren’t top secret. The experts sculpt whole vehicles from aluminium blocks as 1:1 models for many OEMs. Thanks to intelligent zero-point clamping technology from AMF, aluminium blocks weighing multiple tonnes are machined with strong process reliability – fast, flexibly, and with high repeatability.

As simple and logical as Lego

On the work tables with integrated zero-point clamping modules and cross T-slots, the workers place modular spacer elements on top of each other until the block or unmachined part reaches the height where five-sided machining is possible. The clamping can be planned in advance just as easily as with a Lego building kit. The AMF assortment of connecting, construction and counterbalance elements as well as various adapters is almost inexhaustible. The upper interface to the workpiece is again a mechanical zero-point clamping module K10, which positions and clamps the M8 or M10 pull-studs screwed into the workpiece in a process-reliable manner. The system is as simple and logical as Lego. Everything fits together and, thanks to zero-point clamping modules, can be placed quickly and exactly.
