Step by step to more productivityEROWA palletizing and clamping systems provide the interface between the workpiece, fixture and machine. They are crucial for efficient, flexible and competitive manufacturing. Palletizing of workpieces opens up many ways to make your production more productive step by step.

Vertical milling - stable, accurate and efficient.

Horizontal milling with MTS clamping cube.

HSC milling on fully integrated PowerChuck P.

Surface and profile grinding - stable, waterproof and corrosion-resistant.

Coordinate grinding with maxi-mum precision starting with the clamping system.

Turning with PC 210 and automated loading.

EROWA UPCThe widely spaced support surfaces of the UPC chuck make the palletizing system extremely tilt-proof. The pallet is pre-centered with chucking spigots. Then four robust centering segments take over to ensure precise positioning in the pallet and chuck. Compressed air is used for opening and cleaning. The closure generates a pull-down force of 50,000 N.

Palletizing system with centralized material pass-throughThe EROWA ProductionChuck 210 palletizing system is suitable for palletizing of workpieces and clamping devices. However, the feature that uniquely distinguishes the system is, depending on the model, the hole in the center of the pallet and the chuck. Bar stock up to 81 mm diameter as well as lines for the operation of fixtures can be passed through this opening.
