Universal Power Chuck

Universal zero-point clamping system for workpieces and pallets:

UPC - Universal Power Chuck

The EROWA UPC (Universal PowerChuck System) is the universal zero-point clamping system for workpieces, electrodes and pallets. With clamping powers of up to 80,000 N and a repeatability < 0.002 mm, it ensures maximum precision in all machining processes - from milling and eroding to measuring.

The system can be seamlessly combined with EROWA MTS, PowerChuck P and ITS System for EDM Tooling. Whether manual or automated - the UPC system ensures process-safe workpiece clamping and is completely compatible with EROWA JMS 4.0 all EROWA automation devices without any loss in accuracy.

Possible applications of the UPC zero point clamping system:

  • To mill: Precise workpiece clamping with high cutting performance and minimal set-up time
  • Eroding: Reproducible electrode clamping for EDM machining and WEDM
  • Grinding: Solid clamping for high surface quality
  • Measuring: Identical zero points for control measurements and quality assurance
  • Automated production: Integration in EROWA Robot Compact, EROWA Robot Dynamic, EROWA Robot Six, etc. and EROWA JMS 4.0

Advantages and Functions

EROWA UPC with adapter plate and workpiece

Highest performance

With 50 kN clamping force and optional retightening function (80 kN) for all chuck types, the UPC holds everything that needs to be held and withstands everything that needs to be withstood.

Machining on an EROWA UPC milling machine

Perfectly sealed

The special rubber seal reliably protects the UPC 2.0 chuck against the ingress of chips and liquids. The contact surfaces are automatically and thoroughly cleaned with air.

For different workpiece sizes

The UPC 2.0 chuck with integrated ITS chuck ensures seamless integration of the EROWA ITS 50 or ITS 100 workpiece carriers into the UPC palletising system. This combination allows flexible use of the clamping system depending on the size of the parts.

Automation-capable

Full integration into automated production cells: pallets are handled, positioned and loaded and unloaded automatically – ideal for low-staff shifts and lights-out operation.

Low overall height

The low overall height of the UPC 2.0 chuck with pallet leaves plenty of space for clamping devices and workpieces.

Maximum compatibility

UPC 2.0 chucks feature a mounting hole pattern that allows them to be mounted on almost any machine table without additional adaptation.
