Xiongke's VERO-S auxiliary engine processing line enables flexible production

The development direction of modern machine tool fixtures mainly includes four aspects: standardization, precision, high efficiency and flexibility. In order to meet the needs of modern machinery industry for multi-variety, small and medium-sized batch production, to expand the degree of flexibility of the fixture, to change the non-removable structure of the special fixture to a detachable structure, and to develop an adjustable fixture structure, it will be the main direction of development.

The VERO-S zero-point quick-change clamping system of the company can effectively assist the engine processing line to achieve flexible production, which subverts the traditional clamping principle. Each time you re-clamp the workpiece, it may result in loss of precision. However, the repeat positioning accuracy of VERO-S is less than 5 micrometers, almost no loss of precision can be achieved, and the workpiece blank can be finished with five-sided machining (or on the pallet) and multi-station interchange processing. Superior performance, simple structure, and insensitivity to operating conditions will extend the entire machinery manufacturing industry and bring innovation to the entire manufacturing process system.

The traditional engine block and cylinder head clamp are taken as examples, and the main features are:

● Frame structure, good rigidity and heavy weight

● Easy to install, high positioning accuracy and high complexity

● Special purpose machine, can not be reused

● Automatic loading and unloading difficulties

● More clamping points and complicated clamping monitoring

When the VERO-S system is applied to the quick-change clamping of the engine cylinder head,

Flexible design of the clamping module: the workpiece surface has no additional pressure caused by the traditional clamping method, such as spring force, hydraulic or pneumatic pressure plate, etc.

(Depends on effective work space and tension requirements).

The uniform distribution of the clamping force on the cylinder head surface depends on the number of clamping pins, the bolt size (clamping pin, workpiece), the position of the clamping pin and the retention relationship.

VERO-S zero point quick change clamping system features:

1. Standardized interface . It consists of two parts: a quick change module and a tray. The tray is a carrier for connecting the workpiece to the quick change module interface, and is connected to the quick change module by clamping the positioning pin, and is compatible with various clamping tools.

2. Strong clamping force . The clamping force of a single quick change module is up to 40kN and the supercharged type is up to 75kN.

3. Reliable repeat positioning accuracy . Repeated positioning accuracy between multiple processes is guaranteed to be within 0.005 mm.

4. High flexibility . Enables fast switching between different products, enabling flexible collinear production even in high volume manufacturing processes such as engine head processing.
