Modular clamping system ZEPo-v

v-tech’s ZEPO-v is a modular quick-change clamping system with wide application primarily in CNC machining centres. Its purpose is to streamline the production process thanks to very fast and repeatedly accurate replacement of the workpiece, jig or other equipment. It allows users to make the most of the production potential of their machine tools or entire automated production lines.

The core of the ZEPO-v clamping system consists of a unique element in the form of a NES-T pneumatic self-locking nest, whose high tensile force comes from the design and shape of the piston, which is optimized for even distribution of contact stress with emphasis on maintaining compact dimensions. The resulting application, composed of some variant of NES-T in combination with a wide range of UZV-T clamping bases and possibly other elements, covers all conceivable needs of modern metal working operation.
All parts of the ZEPO-v system are designed by our own v-tech design centre and are precisely manufactured in the Czech Republic on top-quality CNC machines. Thanks to the experience from our own production plant, they are also designed to provide meaningful and practical solutions for the end user. The fact that experience, design and production are “under one roof” predestines v-tech to create custom solutions and shift the technical solution towards greater perfection.
To verify the efficiency of using our clamps in-house, we also developed our own specialized software CNC Sensor. By its application, the user obtains valuable data on the utilization of the production centre and ultimately also on the resulting benefits of using ZEPO-v clamping systems and the return on investment

 

NES-T   Quick-change clamp

The NES-T pneumatic quick-change clamp is the cornerstone of the portfolio of v-tech clamping systems. It features compact dimensions and high clamping force, which pulls in the clamping pin. The large tensile force of the nest comes from the unique design of the clamping pneumatic piston, the shape of which is optimized for even distribution of contact stress while maintaining compact dimensions. NES-T is available with two basic diameters 135 mm and 175 mm, including a version for automatic pallet replacement in a fully automated process.

 

• Radical reduction of adjustment times for clamp replacement by up to 90 %
• Clamping accuracy (> 0.005 mm)
• High clamping force up to 24 kN (31 kN – Ø175 mm)
• Body made of heat-treated high-grade steel
• Self-locking mechanism – the clamping force remains even after the compressed air is disconnected
• Modularity – wide range of configurations
• Setting grooves for 90° indexing
• Compact size – nest height only 41 mm
• Precise processing of all components
• Maintenance-free – hermetically sealed
• Working pressure 8 bar
• Compatibility of all offered models (V-TECH)
• Open/closed indication
• Preparation for process automation – version NES-T-A 135
• Possible use in mechanical engineering requiring fast, accurate, firm connection

    The high pulling force of the pot is possible due to the unique design of the clamping pneumatic piston the shape of which is optimized for even distribution of the contact voltage while the compact dimensions are maintained.

      Clamping base with 2 nests

      The clamping base with 2 nests is suitable for quick replacement of e.g. precision vices for CNC machining centres. With a simple and quick action, you can instantly change the clamping device, thus reducing unwanted adjustment times. The base is made of high-grade steel of the highest quality with an emphasis on precise processing. Thanks to a high clamping force of 2 × 24 kN, it can be used even in the most demanding roughing operations

      Clamping base with 6 pots

      The present centrepiece of our portfolio is the base with 6 clamping pots. The main advantage of the solution is the possibility to position more mechanical vices in several configurations. It can be also frequently used for the needs of series production where a clamp with workpiece is clamped in each pot. With the 90° pot indexing feature, this workpiece can be indexed in a simple manner. Application of the top quality heat treated tool steels and precision processing are the matter of course. Everything is controlled pneumatically.

      this clamping pin is used to eliminate heat dilatation of the clamp that is clamped to the base. Smaller size of the fitted diameter allows movement in two axes. This method can be conveniently applied in the applications under which high heat is generated. For example, when roughing is done without using any cooling emulsion.
