Description
HILMA.ASH 125 Automated Workholding System

Hydraulic double-acting
jaw width 125 mm

The long-stroke offers sufficient flexibility for the fully automated production of workpieces for initial and subsequent clamping.

Special features of the HILMA.ASH 125 machine vise family:

  • economic: fully automated production
  • flexible: for different sizes of component families 
  • compact: optimum accessibility
Features
Economic Production

HILMA.ASH automated workholding system

The hydraulically double-acting long-stroke HILMA.ASH clamp is characterised by its long-stroke of 80 mm.

This machine-vise is ideal for different sizes of component families that are clamped in one workholding system. Therefore, the number of workpiece-specific clamping devices can be significantly reduced and clamping tool costs can be saved. Another advantage: The machine running time is not limited by the number of clamping tools and pallets.

The long-stroke offers sufficient flexibility for the fully automated production of workpieces for initial and subsequent clamping.

An automated jaw change is also possible. This means that, without manual intervention and without problems, raw parts and semi-finished products can be held and machined alternately with different clamping forces.

In conjunction with a handling system (e.g.: robot), the HILMA.ASH replaces a large number of conventional workholding systems, which often only have a few millimetres of stroke and therefore offer little flexibility. Families of parts can be produced much more economically with the HILMA.ASH than with standard vises or pallet systems thanks to shorter set-up times and lower personnel and system costs.
