Introduction Meeting the challenge to set-up every process as efficiently as possible with a simple clamping concept To be competitive in today's market, all machines need efficient workpiece handling. Efficient part loading systems are always included in the acquisition of high-volume manufacturing cells. In today's competitive market, how can your processes be any different? Time is still money. UNILOCK removes set-up time and replaces it with production time. If you are looking for lean manufacturing, UNILOCK eliminates all wasted time by providing a comprehensive system to position and clamp workpieces. For companies looking for agile manufacturing, UNILOCK will allow you to run any job on almost any machine. You can interrupt jobs without incurring set-up time. If all of your machines have UNILOCK, work can flow to 02 any available machine.

Air pressure is used to compress the springs, releasing the wedge lock. Clamping is achieved by bleeding the air pressure out of the chuck. To facilitate palletization, the clamping knob is attached to a base plate, fixture or directly to a workpiece. The result is quick and repeatable clamping. UNILOCK Specifics: • Clamping Mechanism: Heavy-duty die springs • Chuck Opening: Air pressure compresses springs • Clamping Stability: Low profile with matching taper wedges • Positional Accuracy: Adaptable to workpiece conformation • Unlocking Air Pressure: 75 PSI Single chuck applications The UNILOCK clamping knob mates with the center taper in the chuck to establish the centerline location (XY reference in a Cartesian coordinate system). A timing pin or key locates in a notch or bushing to orient the coordinate system relative to XY and to restrict rotation. SBA Establishes centerline The Z reference in this same coordinate system is established by the SBB Orients about centerline bottom of the fixture or workpiece contacting the top ground surfaces SBC Clamp only, no positioning Diametral Clearances of the chuck. These same mating surfaces (bottom of the fixture and top of the chuck) will control axial alignment. Type MM Inch SBC 0.1 0.004 SBCC 0.3 0.012 SBCC 0.6 0.024 Multiple chuck applications UNILOCK is not restricted to one clamping knob. When the fixture or workpiece exceeds the work range of a UNILOCK chuck, additional clamping knobs and chucks can be used to provide the necessary support and stability required for the process. There are few limiting factors in the size of an array of UNILOCK chucks or in the weight of a workpiece. Undersized knobs provide clearances for large parts or out of position locations. 04 Designed for Manufacturing During day-to-day use, chucks can be cleaned with compressed air. The fit between the clamping rams and the chuck body will not allow air pressure to push chips inside of the chuck. If you get chips in the clamping pocket, simply blow them out with an air gun. When open, the wedges completely retract. The one-to-one length to diameter ratio of the pocket is easily blown out. There is no need for a vacuum. The 40mm tall by 40mm diameter clamping knob is extremely stable and can double as a foot when moving fixtures and workpieces around the shop. You will not need protective sleeves or special shelving when storing or transporting UNILOCK palletized fixtures or workpieces. Male and female threads are available in multiple sizes. UNILOCK is designed to accept warped workpieces and fixtures. The shallow clamping pocket will allow a clamping knob to enter the chuck at an angle of up to 23 degrees. Undersized clamping knobs are also available. Standard and special UNILOCK clamping knobs will accommodate your out of position datums. Undersized clamping knobs address out of location errors. These undersized knobs will clear the side of the clamping pocket and pull the fixture or workpiece down and stabilize it for machining. This is a very useful feature when working with large workpieces that can warp, expand or contract. 05 Process Your Way to Savings Fixtures and many workpieces are easily adapted to UNILOCK clamping knobs. Tremendous savings are available if the fixture or workpiece can be reoriented or transferred to machine additional faces while remaining attached to the UNILOCK clamping components. On horizontal machines with columns, fixtures can be rotated 90 degrees or moved to the top. Transferring fixtured parts through as many operations as possible eliminates additional fixtures and clamping/unclamping time. Less clamping and unclamping of parts also reduces scrap and improves feature-to-feature accuracies. Transfer workpieces between processes on: • Vertical Machining Centers • Horizontal Machining Centers • High Speed Drilling and Tapping Centers • Surface and Cylindrical Grinding Machines • Horizontal and Vertical Lathes • Coordinate Measuring Machines • Welding, Plasma and Laser Machines Once you grab the part, use UNILOCK to send it to as many operations as possible without removing the part from the fixture. UNILOCK positions and clamps from one face leaving the other faces available for machining. Rotary tables, angle/sine plates and multi-sided tombstones facilitate part reorientation for subsequent operations. 06 It’s Easy to Get Started Table chucks are mounted to base plates and are ready to be clamped to your workstation. These chucks are supported by pre-assembled pallets. Shown below are the Mono, Duo and Quad table chucks, along with their pallets. Pneumatic kits are also available so you can install a working solution in minutes. You can also build your own custom solutions from UNILOCK components. Shown below are some of the standard component chucks which have been incorporated into customer designs. 07 Model 138 Chuck Our Most Popular Chuck – The Model 138 • Mid-sized diameter fits most applications • Topside mounting for ease of integration • Choose from air connections at bottom or side • Optional timing notch in face of chuck Clamping Force M10 7,868 lbs Clamping Force M12 11,240 lbs Repeatability .0001” Air Open Pressure 75 PSI Weight (Standard Model) 9.9 lbs Weight (Flange Model) 8.0 lbs Bore & C’bore for M8 SHCS 54.7 15.7 9.0 1/8” BSP 0 Ø110 -0.01 17 Timing Notch (Index Model Only) +.011 14 0 Timing 0 Ø138 -0.01 60° 30° M6 62 B.C.

Capital Equipment – Machinery incurs less down time awaiting fixture or workpiece changes... and more time making parts. Floor Space – Dedicate more room for your current jobs... not storing idle fixtures in large pallet pools. Lean Manufacturing – Through the use of building blocks which can be used over and over again... UNILOCK will eliminate dedicated tooling and fixturing. Agile Manufacturing – UNILOCK allows any job to run on any machine at any time... so your production planners can get the necessary parts out the door. Just In Time Manufacturing – UNILOCK allows you to clamp the part one time and move it from process to process... so you can get a finished part at the end of each cycle. 19 For Small Parts Remove process time so you can save more than just set-up time Before UNILOCK, 3 subsequent machining processes required the operator to clamp and unclamp the part 3 times. Now the same part is only clamped and unclamped once over these same 3 processes. Even when the time spent clamping and unclamping the part is minimal, it creates unnecessary labor and a chance for errors. Use UNILOCK so you can immediately increase your spindle uptime and decrease scrap due to part positioning and clamping errors. Before UNILOCK Operation Set-up Production Set-up Production Savings Op-10 Lathe 3 Hours 4 Hours 1 Hour 4 Hours 2 Hours Op-20 Lathe 2 Hours 10 Hours 1 Hour 2 Hours 9 Hours Op-30 Mill 4 Hours 11 Hours 1 Hour 8 Hours 6 Hours Total 10 Hours 25 Hours 3 Hours 15 Hours 17 Hours If a part has to be clamped and unclamped in a different fixture for each operation, considerable process time and money can be saved by leaving the part in the same fixture for as many operations as possible. The more expensive fixtures which hold machined parts for subsequent operations would also be eliminated. 20 After UNILOCK For Large Machines and Workpieces Even your largest machines can save money starting with your next job UNILOCK provides undersized clamping knobs so you do not have to hold .0004” on fixture locations when your production tolerance is .005”. These undersized knobs are a necessity if you want to mount knobs directly to warped workpieces. If you do not need to, or cannot hold a tight tolerance, simply select the appropriate undersized clamping knobs to accommodate you workpiece or fixture. UNILOCK’s heavy-duty clamping knobs are a necessity when you are using a hoist to load and unload your machine. With a length-to-diameter ratio of 1-to-1, UNILOCK’s 40mm clamping knob can be left on fixtures and workpieces without worry of damage during loading and unloading, storage or transfer. Diametral Clearances Type MM Inch SBC 0.1 0.004 SBCC 0.3 0.012 SBCC 0.6 0.024 21 Applications in Machining Only limited by your imagination, UNILOCK applications are endless You can align all of your rotary table fixtures in seconds. As you move away from the spindle nose, UNILOCK’s heavy duty chucks will absorb the additional leverage and torque. Since individual UNILOCK components are sold separately, you can build specific solutions in-house, contact your tool and fixture provider or purchase them from one of our workholding associates. UNILOCK can be used in any configuration and in almost any process. A heavy cut requiring 6 chucks to stabilize the part for machining can be accurately positioned on a coordinate measuring machine with 2 small chucks or a single chuck and a timing feature. 22 Applications in Machining Finally, a clamping system flexible enough to change the entire table or workpieces and fixtures UNILOCK establishes predefined datums on all of your machines. When you load, lock and cycle start, there is no wasted time. A set-up should always take the same amount of time. UNILOCK delivers scheduling flexibility and set-up versatility. By using more than 1 chuck on a machine, you will be able to switch between multiple small parts or fewer large parts. Our predefined datums allow you to quickly and accurately convert your machining center from a headstock and tailstock set-up to fixtures on the table. 23 SPECIAL CATALOGS ON PERIPHERAL SUPPORT TOOLS & EQUIPMENT KAISER KAB/KAD PRECISION MODULAR TOOL SYSTEM Modern machines and manufacturing methods call for ever-improving, high-performance cutting tools.
