ALUMESS - Clamping devices for measuring machines

Modular fixture for measuring machines, coordinate measuring machines

Easy to handle – economical – modularly expandable

The ALUMESS clamping system is an extremely flexible and comprehensive modular system for fixing workpieces on measuring machines. The clamping system is based on a perforated plate on which the various clamping elements, clamping devices can be positioned. This perforated plate is screwed onto the measuring plate of the measuring machine.

The modular ALUMESS clamping systems enable the precise and repeatable setup of clamping fixtures. They are designed for flexible use at measuring stations, on coordinate measuring machines, on optical measuring devices, and in computed tomography (CT) scanners. To help you get started quickly with the ALUMESS system family, various starter kits are available that can be expanded as needed. We would be happy to put together a custom kit for you. Modular Design Simple, Fast, and Cost-Effective The ALUMESS clamping systems consist of numerous modular components that can be easily, quickly, and cost-effectively assembled into position-accurate and reproducible clamping and fixing devices. Flexible The ALUMESS clamping systems offer users maximum flexibility and enable part-specific or customer-specific clamping solutions in the measurement room. Stable The components of the various systems are screwed directly together, thereby forming a stable, rigid connection. The space-saving design of all components ensures optimal access to the measurement point.

Häufige Fragen zu ALUMESS Spannvorrichtungen

Was ist das ALUMESS-System?
ALUMESS ist ein modulares, aluminiumbasiertes Spannsystem von SPREITZER für die fixierung von Werkstücken auf Koordinatenmessmaschinen (KMG) und in der Qualitätssicherung. Das System ist leicht, sehr präzise und ohne Werkzeug rüstbar — Werkstücke werden reproduzierbar zur Messung gespannt.
Welche Vorteile bietet ALUMESS gegenüber klassischen Spannvorrichtungen?
ALUMESS-Komponenten sind aus eloxiertem Aluminium gefertigt — leichter als Stahl, korrosionsbeständig und schonen empfindliche Werkstückoberflächen. Der modulare Baukasten erlaubt schnelle Wechsel ohne Werkzeug, dauerhaft präzise Positionierung und ist nahezu vollständig automatisierbar.
Welche ALUMESS-Varianten gibt es?
SPREITZER bietet mehrere ALUMESS-Baureihen: ALUMESS.basic (Standard-KMG-Spannung), ALUMESS.junior (kleinere Werkstücke und Pallettenaufbau), ALUMESS.maxx (große Werkstücke und Schwerlast), ALUMESS.optic (für optische Messgeräte) und ALUMESS.easyloc (für die Laserbearbeitung).
Auf welchen Messmaschinen funktioniert ALUMESS?
ALUMESS-Grundplatten lassen sich auf nahezu allen gängigen Koordinatenmessmaschinen montieren — Zeiss, Mitutoyo, Hexagon, Werth, Mahr und andere Hersteller. Die Grundplatten sind mit Lochrastern in metrischer Ausführung verfügbar.
Wie schnell ist ein Werkstückwechsel?
Mit ALUMESS lassen sich Werkstücke in unter einer Minute reproduzierbar spannen — ohne Werkzeug. Die Wiederholgenauigkeit beträgt typisch ±0,01 mm. Damit verkürzen sich die Rüstzeiten an Messmaschinen um bis zu 80 %.
Welche Werkstücke kann ich spannen?
Vom kleinen Drehteil über Bleche und gefräste Aluminiumteile bis hin zu großen Strukturbauteilen — ALUMESS deckt einen breiten Werkstückbereich ab. Empfindliche Bauteile werden durch die Aluminiumkomponenten und optionale Kunststoff-Spannelemente geschont.
Kann ich ALUMESS mieten oder als Sonderlösung anfragen?
Ja. SPREITZER bietet Mietmodelle für ALUMESS-Systeme und konstruiert auf Anfrage werkstückspezifische Aufbauten als Sondervorrichtung — komplett mit Mess-Software-Integration. Anfrage unter info@spreitzer.de oder +49 7426 9475-0.
