Machine tool work clamp - has guide rods moving on square section tube for adjustment without side clearance

摘要

In the positioning and clamping arrangement, the various functions such as: preliminary aligning holding, positioning in two co-ordinate directions, position fixing and clamping are carried out one after the other by separate sections of the assembly. No horizontally acting cutting or clamping forces are exerted on the guides of the assembly, while adjustment without play is carried out independent of the precision of the adjusting screws. The frame wall (1) of the cross slide frame (3) and the frame (5) of the upper slide consist of parallel sections cut from a square tube or are cast frames, The guide rods (2, 4) are rods of round or rectangular section which are placed loose in the assembly.
