Clamping / Alignment

Clamping with 2 screws from above through the base body

Clamping with 2 screws from above through the base body. Alignment can be done via Ø12 H7 precision holes

Both variants are prepared with the mounting holes for the zero point clamping systems Quick Point (LANG), Solid Point (HWR), RockLock (5thaxis) and even more.

The C3 L-100 is designed with a SCHUNK VERO-S NSE mini interface.. This allows the clamp to be used on NSE mini modules as well as clamping stations with integrated anti-rotation V1.

Quick change jaws
Thanks to quick-change jaws, the C3 enables extremely fast changeover of the clamp to other system jaws. Depending on the requirement, the jaw width 45mm or 70mm can be used. With the VS quick-change jaws, an even larger clamping range can also be covered.
