The advantages of the "springless clamp" with the "Super-Lock" locking system at its core are obvious so Eugen Hangleiter, tool clamping expert at Röhm: "'Super-Lock' is compact and requires little installation space. As a result the locking unit can be space-savingly installed in extremely short spindles. Thanks to the low space requirements, with the "Super-Lock" locking system e.g. spindles ...

In particular the precise machining of rings in a single, quickly realisable clamping operation is possible with the new combined centring and magnetic chuck. The usual time-consuming centring by hand or with specially made devices that used to be associated with magnetic chucks is now a thing of the past. Workpieces of different sizes and contours can thus be securely extended and clamped in secon...
