Hydraulic Base Plates

Automated Multiple-Part Workholding

The PAWS manifold is a non-dedicated hydraulic base that serves as a mechanism for automating the clamping of parts in CNC Milling environments. Available in several sizes, the manifolds offer embedded dual-action pistons every two inches on center. This gives the user a clamping point grid map for creating quick-change fixture plates that utilize all the benefits of hydraulic clamping without tying up the CNC Milling Center with expensive, dedicated fixturing.

Vise Force wedge clamps placed on a fixture plate can be automated by linking the clamp to a manifold piston underneath using a 5/16-18 socket head cap screw. The SHCS passes through the clamp and fixture plate and is screwed into the ID thread of the piston below. When the hydraulics are activated, the clamp is pulled down and expanded, creating lateral clamping force. Fixture plates are counter-bored underneath to allow piston travel up and down and located on manifold base with precision pins.
