Part roundness depends on the clamping system being used

Studies at IWT Bremen

In autumn 2003, studies on clamping thin-walled roller bearing rings were carried out in the Manufacturing Technology Department at the Foundation Institute of Materials Science (IWT) which belongs to Bremen University. Various different clamping systems were used and compared in the studies.
The results of the studies confirm that use of the inogrip® clamping system guarantees secure workpiece clamping with only 10% of the clamping force that is otherwise required. This brings considerable advantages in clamping deformation-sensitive parts, as it minimises deformation and thus facilitates economical process control.

In many cases, the use of an inogrip® clamping system makes it possible to dispense with expensive, type-specific special clamping equipment.
