With hundreds of zero-points across the table or pallet of a vertical or horizontal machining centre, Sinco MultiZero work holding offers modularity and precision when securing multiple components for machining. The systems are sold into the UK and Irish markets under an exclusive agency agreement with 1st Machine Tool Accessories, which also provides a consultancy service to manufacturers wishing to maximise the advantages of the Slovenian-made work-holding equipment.
Central to Sinco’s approach to increasing CNC machining efficiency and profitability are the virtually limitless work-holding arrangements made possible by its MultiZero base plate. It features an array of precisely spaced, conical, zero-point locations at 50 or 100 mm centres. The high-density grid maximises machine capacity usage by simplifying multi-part clamping all over the machine table, utilising matching centring elements on the underside of other MultiZero modules that fit accurately into the conical holes.
The additional modules include clamping pallets that attach directly to the base plate and can hold workpieces directly. Five different pallet types are available for manual or automatic clamping of parts on a machining centre, while a die-sink or wire EDM machine, measuring machine, or assembly station may be similarly equipped. Pallets can be supplied fitted with an RFID chip to allow integration into an Industry 4.0 factory environment, enabling automation, digitalisation, automatic data capture and scheduling of production.
Other accessories such as modular vices, stoppers and risers can be mounted on top of the clamping pallet in countless ways to suit different workpiece sizes and shapes.
