Gear manufacturer reported that by reclaiming used drills using a Darex Sharpener the machine has paid for itself 'several times over' by sharpening drills to 'new' condition.
As a result, customised workholding solutions can be developed to meet specific production requirements at a fraction of the cost or lead-times associated with custom-designed jigs and fixtures.
Units can be fitted with hydraulic or pneumatic accessories, or mounted on rotary tables to meet the most diverse of manufacturing operations.
The systemandsup1;s modular design enables assemblies to be easily modified, reconfigured or duplicated andshy; avoiding the need for valuable workholding resources to be dedicated to specific applications.
The systemandsup1;s versatility is extended by a range of standard one to four-station vices, which can be mounted directly to vertical machine tool tables, or to horizontal machining centres through the use of a standard column.
Optional soft jaws - ready for machining to suit individual part profiles andshy; are also available to complement standard vices or V-jaws.
Leave fixturing and workholding equipment combines high clamping capabilities with extreme flexibility and positional accuracy.
Units can be mounted on all types of machine tools, making them ideal for general machine shop use.
The system provides precise coordinate specification and fully adjustable datum planes for simplified part programming.
Key system components are hardened and ground for accurate workpiece location and extended service life, enabling Leave equipment to be repeatedly re-configured to suit applications for single or multiple components measuring from just a few millimetres to more than one metre in size.
