Quick, Accurate and Safe
5 year warranty
The Zero Point is an immediate positioning and clamping system, that represents the ideal solution for the positioning and the precise, fast and firm clamping of the equipments on the machine tools.
The Zero Point is a system “NORMALLY CLOSED”, that uses die springs which allows the clamping of the pull-stud through the spheres located inside, while the filtered and lubricated compressed air enables the release only so there is no need to keep pipes connected constantly to the fixture.

FEATURES
The multiple Zero Point system (Art.664-665) allows, thanks to the solid integral elastic collet, a lateral translation, that solves problems of centre distances and variations caused by the temperature. The central reference point remains steady accuracy within microns.
The Positioning Keys on the Zero Point Body allow the correct and safe positioning of the fixture or the workpiece you need to machine.
The DOUBLE EFFECT, possible with the single zero point units (hermetic), allows to get clamping results much higher than the normal thanks to the non-return valve. When the double effect is operated the air adds a pneumatic clamping power which supports and increases the normal clamping through springs.
The Pull Studs ensure a correct alignement and positioning of the fixtures and can be also assembled directly on the workpiece.
They can be male or female according to the application needs
Solid vise base. Every sliding and coupling surface is ground. Centesimal tollerances are guaranteed by checking cycles with CNC measuring machine. The perfect alignment with the machine axis is given by longitudinal and cross keyways (16H7) or positioning holes (Ø16 mm F7), upon specific request, on the vise base. Of course this allows minimum of set up times and gang operations.
