Stress free clamping

By using the adhesive properties of frost, AMCC® has developped, for your fragile parts, a clamping system :

  • stress free
  • hyper rigid
  • mono face clamping
  • fast and easy to use
  • for all forms
  • for all materials

Use

The AMCC compressed air icing plate (ice vice) are used in milling, lathing, grinding, diamond cutting…
Implementation is very fast :

  1. connect the devive to the compressed air network
  2. spray water on the freezing plate
  3. position the workpiece
  4. turn the control button T ° or the freezer / defrost lever
  5. in a few second the water freeze and the part is clamped
  6. the unclamping, just as fast, is done by reversing the maneuver

A the thickness of the water beneath the part is zero, the repeatability in “Z” depends only of reference surface.
