MODULAR PULL CLAMPING SYSTEM COMPARISON TO CONVENTIONAL FIXTURES
Conventional fixtures have machining restrictions.
Areas in red cannot be machined.
Modular Pull Clamping System enables machining from five sides.
Single Machining Step
Additional machining step is required because of tool interference.
Fixture for the additional machining step
No tool interference and no need for additional machining setup.
Better Machining Accuracy
Poor machining accuracy by machining in divided setup steps.
Better machining accuracy with single setup.

Application Example
Before
Multi-face machining with vises
Purpose: Single Setup
Pull clamping with screws (using riser blocks)
Purpose: Easy Clamping Operation
Pull clamping with screws using a fixture plate
Purpose: Eliminate interference with fixture plate
After
With Clamping Screws attached directly to the workpiece
With Clamping Screws attached to the fixture plate
Quick Fixture Change
Modular Pull Clamping System allows quick and precise fixture changes.
Modular Fixture
Can be used as a universal fixture by standardizing the mounting pitch for Clamping Screws.
Workpiece Raising
Prevent tool interference.
Easy chip cleaning.
How To Use
Clamping Modules can be coupled with each types of Clamping Modules. For details, see the Assembly Chart in "How To Use Modular Pull Clamping System".
How To Use Clamping Screws
Tapered Clamping Screws for precise locating.
Clamping Screws for clamping.
Positioning Order of Tapered Clamping Screws
Mount the Round-Type and Diamond-Type as shown in the figure for locating workpieces. Note: Tighten the Round-Type first, then Diamond-Type, and then tighten the Clamping Screws last.
Locating Mechanism
Dual surface contact at the tapered surfaces and contact surfaces enables 5µm locating repeatability.
Types
5 Axis Modular Pull Clamp System
Completely modular, this versatile clamping system allows easy height adjustment by coupling the modules. Ideal for 5-axis machining.
