The Tecnomagnete Mill-Tec Grip Round is a New Innovative Technology and the PERFECT SOLUTION for machining large metallic components on your 5th Axis Machine!

Why?

The new Mill-Tec Grip technology has a fully metallic top surface, no resin between the ’Poles’ like old technology that can deteriorate with time and also the whole top surface is fully machinable down to a depth of 15mm for potential introduction of Fixed Stops or Zero Point locators.

The new Mill-Tec Grip technology independently magnetises to the machine bed without the use of any mechanical clamps. This is to stop any vibration and create uniformed clamping between the machine bed, the magnet, and the component, enabling faster feeds and speeds to be achieved and also a better surface finish.

If the customer is looking to machine large metallic components there is NO competition!

Because:

• • You do not need to leave excess material on the component to hold on.
• • You would not need to pre-op the billet in any way even if the billet is in a rough state, this is due to the innovative ’Moblie Pole Extensions’ which will find the low and high points on the surface of the billet.
• • Extremely powerful magnetic pull down with an impressive 1.3 Ton vertical pull down force per single ’Pole’. (Example: 10 Poles=13 Ton vertical pull down force. The larger the component surface area the greater the clamping force!)
• • You can hit all 5 sides of the component completely without ANY spindle restrictions that you would get using a Centric Gripper.
• • You can even achieve under-edge machining and start cutting the 6th side of the component in the same operation!
• • All this with No Vibration and Faster Speeds and Feeds!

And how would that benefit me?

• • You would save on material costs due to the fact you don’t need to leave excess material on the billet.
• • You would save on machining times because you don’t need to machine off the excess material on the next operation.
• • You would also save 1 operation due to not having to pre-op the billet.
• • You would also see significant savings on your set up times!

The Mill-Tec Grip can be interfaced with the machine if you wish to Robot Load, and the flexibility of the system allows it to function as a Pallet Changer to hold non-ferrous parts. If you do a mixture of large and small work, metallic and aluminium, you could always mount a Centric Gripper on top of the Mill-Tec for the small components.
