Trial and error are a thing of the past with workpiece clamping. With the iJaw, you clamp your workpiece in seconds with the right clamping force

If you want to know exactly when your chuck needs lubrication, maintenance or repair. With the iJaw data, you can see how the clamping force of your chuck decreases over time. This allows you to plan ahead for maintenance and avoid surprise machine downtime.

Why is the machine down? When does it do chip removal? How productive is it?

These are all questions that you can also answer with the iJaw. A simple analysis shows you uptime and downtime. This allows you to start further analyses at shop floor level and optimization. Especially in times of rising energy costs, optimization of production processes is a must. The iJaw makes potentials transparent!

With the iJaw, clamping forces can be measured in real-time during machining. Different physical influences on the applied clamping force are fully recorded. With the evaluation of the data, either by the machine operator or an automated evaluation, machining processes can be set more precisely, safely and efficiently.

The iJaw measures the clamping force between the clamping jaw and the workpiece even before machining. The seat of the workpiece in the clamping device influences the applied clamping force. By evaluating the measurement of the applied clamping forces, it is possible to determine whether a workpiece is correctly seated in the clamping device. Depending on the workpiece geometry, it makes sense to use a second or third measuring jaw. This makes it possible to monitor automated processes in particular, where the workpiece is inserted into the clamping device via an automatic feed, for example

Knowing the right effective forces means approaching the workpiece with the maximum possible machining forces. Feed and speed are optimally adjusted so that the machining time for a workpiece can be dramatically reduced. Not only in series production does this mean more throughput and lower part costs.

The clamping force curve is like the fingerprint of the production step. Each component has its own signature. Significant deviations from part to part in series production indicate malfunctions and faulty production. Parts with a deviating fingerprint can be identified quickly. This speeds up quality assurance.

If you machine thin-walled components, then you may be familiar with the problem of deformation when the clamping force is too high. The iJaw helps you to clamp workpieces with exactly the required force and thus prevent deformation of the parts.

With the iJaw, you can see the clamping forces applied during the machining process in real-time. A drop in clamping force can thus be recognized immediately.

With the iJaw, minimum and maximum clamping forces can be monitored in real-time. Alarm signals can be output if the desired clamping forces are undercut or exceeded.

Thanks to the real-time monitoring of the clamping forces during the machining process, you always have the forces in view. In the event of unusual deviations, you can intervene and correct them immediately.

High speeds and low clamping forces are not a good combination! With the iJaw, you see immediately when clamping forces decrease rapidly. This way you can intervene and avoid a possible ejection of the workpiece.

With the iJaw, clamping forces can be measured, archived and documented. At a point in time, even well after machining, the manufacturing process can be traced.

The iJaw measures the clamping force between the clamping jaw and workpiece, during and after machining. The data is stored and documents the machining process. During the production of critical components, analyses can be carried out retrospectively. This is, for example, for damage analysis or to investigate weak points in complex and lengthy manufacturing processes.
