Andreas Maier Fellbach (AMF) is a leading European manufacturer of zero-point clamping systems that enable precise clamping modules to ensure perfect clamping in the widest range of applications. Zero-Point-System clamping modules are used in milling processes and turning centers to enable fixture and workpiece changes within seconds.<\/p>\n
AMF previously used carbon steel screws (class 10.9 & 12.9) with corrosion protection for its Zero-Point-System clamping products. However, the company required a more durable fastener solution to realize its vision of providing the best and safest products on the market.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs our Zero-Point-Clamping Systems require a maximum of stiffness, strength and vibration tolerance, we were looking for a fastener solution that would outperform normal stainless steel,\u201d explains Christina Holm, Product Manager for Zero-Point-Systems. \u201cBUMAX was the only solution that fully met all of our tensile tests for extreme loading scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n
BUMAX\u00ae 109 and BUMAX\u00ae 109 Ultra screws are now used to secure the installation and ensure the extremely high holding forces of AMF\u2019s Zero-Point Systems to avoid any movement or lifting off the support flange of the clamping modules. BUMAX\u00ae 109 Ultra is used for some screws with a particular headcap that can only be manufactured in BUMAX Ultra.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn example is our K20 Clamping Module that generates a pull-in and locking force of up to 20kN and a holding force of 55kN,\u201d says Holm. \u201cBUMAX\u00ae 109 Ultra screws are stable against static and dynamic forces during the machining process \u2013 even under extreme forces.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cImportantly, BUMAX screws are also available in a range of sizes, which makes them suitable for all our zero-Point clamping modules \u2013 including pneumatic, hydraulic and automation modules,\u201d says Holm. \u201cHigh strength and vibration tolerant BUMAX screws ensure our customers benefit from components with the highest level of quality, accuracy and operational safety.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
