Position indicators with pneumatic clamping

SIKO has been a global fixture for spindle positioning in production machines and electronic and mechanical position indicators for many years. To ensure smooth production, it would appear obvious to fix the set position values, determined with the aid of the SIKO counter, with a clamping device.

For the first time, the new pneumatic clamping plate KP09P now enables locking of all adjustable axes with the push of a button. Compared to conventional manual clamping levers, locking the spindles is achieved with compressed air. For correct positioning of all adjustment axes, the connected clamping plates are pneumatically admitted by means of a control command and fix the spindles into position with a holding torque of up to 3 nm.

The contour of the tried and tested SIKO counter DA09S is ideal due to its combined use of display and clamping plate. The compact and robust design of the KP09P can also be used as an independent machine element in order to lock any type of rotating adjustable axes of a machine. The flat design with a hollow shaft maximum diameter of 30 mm ensures that the clamping plate can be optimally integrated into existing machine designs.
