Special requirements – including high temperatures – apply when 3D printing clamping technology. AMF’s zero point clamping modules, which are specially adapted to additive manufacturing, fulfil these conditions and also accelerate the setup processes. Photo: AMF

Bernt Ritz, Consultant for Technology, Standardization and Clamping Tools in the VDMA Precision Tools Association: “The standard sheet serves designers as a checklist which they can use to check which safety-related issues need to be taken into account at the design stage.” Photo: VDMA

The VDMA standard sheet means that, in future, machine manufacturers can be certain that clamping device standards (here a Hainbuch jaw module) have been complied with. Photo: Hainbuch
