NEW PRODUCTS – NEW PRODUCTS – NEW PRODUCTS HAINBUCH IQ ADDS INTELLIGENCE TO WORKHOLDING As one of the industry leaders in the workholding and clamping arena, Hainbuch has now taken innovation to a new level with its IQ range of chucks and mandrels. Chucks and mandrels with the new IQ technology manage and monitor production to improve workflow, productivity and consistency for the end-user. By incorporating measuring intelligence, the new Hainbuch IQ reduces measurement procedure times and scrap rates whilst improving productivity and process capacity, monitoring the defined clamping parameters and documenting the results for repeat production orders. How does the IQ system achieve all of this – by integrating sensor technology to deliver a solution that makes the transition to Industry 4.0 and digitalization a simplistic process. The IQ system provides many different measurements and monitoring possibilities, recording data and relaying the information via contactless transmission directly to the machine controller where it is analysed. The controller executes a setpoint comparison and if any deviations are found, an output message or correction is initiated. This makes long-term process control possible by using the data obtained through condition monitoring. The data between the rotating clamping device and a stator fixed on the headstock is transmitted with a field-bus system directly to the machine controller or a gateway. The intelligent new IQ system is available with the dead length and pullback TOPlus IQ hexagonal chucks and the SPANNTOP round IQ chucks. This caters for a clamping range from 3 to 100mm with the TOPlus and 3 to 160mm with the SPANNTOP system. The IQ technology has also been integrated into the MAXXOS and MANDO mandrel ranges to support the clamping of components from 8 to 200mm diameter across the range. This combination of options provides machine shops running everything from turning and milling centres through to grinding, measuring and assembly workstations, a completely new outlook on how to measure and control its clamping processes. New Measuring Possibilities The new IQ system makes it possible to measure a multitude of parameters such as the workpiece diameter, temperature, RPM, workpiece contact and clamping force, providing the customer with complete process control. The workpiece diameter can now be clamped and measured in a single step with no additional measuring machine, attaining a measurement accuracy of +/- 0.01mm diameter, this can help to detect whether the correct diameter has been produced in upstream machining processes. With regards to temperature, the IQ system can measure the temperature of the clamping device to within +/-0.1-degree C. By detecting gradual temperature changes during machining, the IQ enables any deviations to be accounted for in measuring procedures. For condition monitoring, the IQ can measure the spindle speed to a precision level of +/-1%. By monitoring the RPM with analysis diagrams, the system can detect any loss of inertia. The measurement of workpiece contact is conducted via sensors in the body and through the 3-point part support contact on the workpiece end-stop. This enables the IQ system to detect swarf on the component and end-stop to less than 0.03mm without complex air sensing control that requires rotary units and subsequent piping. Furthermore, the IQ system provides workpiece clamping force measurement to ensure that a continuous clamping force is maintained on the component. Any deviation from the calibrated clamping force value is therefore determined. This gives the end-user an understanding of whether the clamping force is suitable for the respective component and if the forces have been set correctly on the hydraulic unit or clamping cylinder – a factor that is essential for automated production scenarios. The new IQ system from Hainbuch can be integrated into most machine tools and requires very little preparation.

The beauty of this new range from Wellesbourne based ETG is its modularity that offers a solution for every machine shop that needs to turn particularly large parts. The TC800 offers a swing over the bed of 1100mm with a maximum turning diameter of 1020mm and a working length of 2200mm, making this machine the perfect complement to manufacturers in the power generation, oil and gas, and aerospace industry sectors. For efficiently turning parts in this large dimensional realm, the TC800 is powered by a 37kW four stepped gearbox that generates exceptionally high levels of torque throughout the speed range up to the maximum 1500rpm. This enables the TC800 Series to undertake remarkably heavy-duty cutting with astounding material removal rates that demonstrates the stability and power of this ‘oil country’ powerhouse. This stability is further reinforced by the machine weight of 18,000kg and a footprint of 8.7m by 3.2m. From a flexibility standpoint, the TC800 is also available as a TC800L (long) variant with Z- axis travel up to 5190mm and an overall weight of 32,000kg that is packed into the 11.7 by 3.2m machine footprint. This enables ETG to offer a colossus turning centre to meet the dimensional requirements of the majority of large turned part manufacturers. Adding to the base TC800 variant is the TC800M that supports manufacturers looking to reduce secondary operations through the application of live tooling stations on the 12-station tool turret. Utilising a servo turret to instigate powerful high torque milling with speeds up to 3000rpm, the TC800M is suitable for flexible production that will reduce cycle times and set-ups for end users. The concept behind this slant bed range of machines demonstrates impressive precision and productivity credentials with the Z and X- axes mounted upon ball-type, linear or boxway guideways with axis movement directly driven by servo motors for rapid traverse rates up to 30m/min. www.engtechgroup.com 26 Manufacturing Machinery World, April 20225
