The new Erowa CMT Compact Micro Tooling adds another innovation to its clamping system portfolio, taking micro, high-precision manufacturing to a new level. Specially developed for energy-efficient micro-machining machines in detail-critical industries – ranging from watchmaking and jewellery to medical technology and micro technology – Erowa says the CMT clamping system delivers quality, precision and efficiency in an ultra-compact design.

Micro and precision mechanics require specialised, precisely co-ordinated solutions. However, the industry has been undergoing change for some time now. The trend is moving towards compact, energy-efficient, high-precision micro-manufacturing systems that are tailored to the resource-saving requirements of the future. Thanks to minimal footprint requirements, the space saved can be used to increase productivity in manufacturing. Additionally, its lower energy consumption compared with conventional machines allows for more cost-effective and sustainable production of workpieces.

To unleash the full potential of any micro machine, it must feature efficient workpiece handling. As a pioneer in the field of high-precision clamping systems, Erowa has taken on this task. The newly developed Erowa CMT (Compact Micro Tooling) combines a high degree of quality and precision. Developed for the next generation of micro-machining machines – suitable for both manual and automated production – the clamping system, with a diameter of just 45 mm, delivers efficiency and functionality in a very compact form.

The clamping system is designed for workpiece sizes up to 50 x 50 x 50 mm. Clamping is performed using spring force with the chuck released pneumatically. The chuck remains mechanically locked in the unpressurised state. Just like other Erowa products, positioning is performed using a backlash-free centring plate to maximise repeatability and system accuracy.
