Automated pallet changer SPP

for machining centers

Safely clamped in all areas of use With the pallet changer, the Zimmer Group is expanding the zero-point clamping system product range. Along with changing pallets in tooling machines, it also offers numerous other applications, for example, the handling of components in portals or on robots with high repeatability. Because of the slim design and low set-up of the clamping plate and clamping pallets, you get both close-proximity pallet loading on the machine table as well as maximum use of the machine space. High clamping forces create an extraordinarily rigid system, whose excellent holding force enables the highest torque as well as a highly precise connection between the robot and the clamping plate. This makes the handling of heavier pallets, in particular, easier and safer. The pallet changer was designed for clamping pallet couplings or clamping pins with high repeatability. Due to its structural design, the system is clamped without pneumatic pressure applied. The clamping force can be increased by using an additional impulse on the PLUS connection. It has four rotation locks for pallet coupling. The integrated blow-out or cleaning function prevents dirt or liquid from collecting in the pin holder, contact surface, and rotation locks. The pallet coupling is used as a pallet interface for the product and creates the connection to the clamping pallet. The rotation lock enables backlash-free positioning of the bearings when joining with the product. Safe operation can be verified by sensors by means of piston position sensing and a clamping position check. All functions can be controlled directly via the pneumatic connections on the sides.
