SMW AUTOBLOK'S MANUAL JACK CONNECTION KIT

SMW Autoblok Group, a world leader in the design and manufacture of rotational chucks, stationary workholding, tooling and custom engineered solutions for the machine tool industry, introduces the Manual Jack (MJ) connection kit for fast power-to-manual chuck conversion. Designed to be easily retrofitted to new or existing machines without using costly hydraulic or pneumatic table connection prep, Manual Jack is the perfect alternative to manual chucks on non-hydraulic or pneumatic machines. This innovative kit is compatible with stationary milling machines, 5-axis machines, and mill-turn machines, making it an ideal solution for multi-pallet systems that require versatility and efficiency. The MJ Stand-alone version is engineered for easy installation, allowing users to mount it directly on the machine table or on the pallet of their Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). This version is not only economical but also compact and lightweight, ensuring that it seamlessly integrates into existing setups without adding unnecessary bulk. For those seeking an even more streamlined option, we present the MJP Pallet version. This design incorporates the MJ mechanism directly into the machine pallet, resulting in the most compact and lightweight solution available. The development of this version will be carried out in close cooperation with machine manufacturers to ensure optimal compatibility and performance. Additionally, we offer the MJC Cartridge Version, which features the MJ mechanism housed in a cartridge. This cartridge can be partially or completely inserted into the machine pallet, tailored specifically by the machine manufacturer in a specially designed pallet. The adaptability of the cartridge allows customization to meet the unique needs of various machine configurations. Additional features include: Adapted to machining centers to manually operate a power chuck Ideal for 5 axis mill-turn machines without air/oil feed Useful for palletized machines due to mechanical irreversible constant gripping force Ideal alternative to a manual chuck with simple integration of power chucks Operate virtually any type of power chuck: 2/3/4 jaws, 2+2, 6 jaws, 2+2+2 etc. Use with sealed power chucks of the SMW Autoblok Proofline series No need for air/oil feeds making it a perfect solution for pallet changing systems Easily interchangeable among several machines Adaptable to the machine table/pallet with different centering and mounting threads patterns Operate chucks in both external and internal clamping Furthermore, the New Manual Jack connection kit represents a significant advancement in machining technology, providing manufacturers with flexible, efficient, and tailored solutions to turn their power chuck requirements into manual use.
