ALUMESS – fixtures 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 a positionally accurate and reproducible set-up of clamping devices. They are designed for flexible use at the measuring station, on coordinate measuring machines, on optical measuring devices and in computer tomographs (CT). For a quick introduction to the ALUMESS system family, various starter sets are available, which can be expanded as required. We would be happy to put together a customised kit for you.

Modular concept
Simple, fast and economical The ALUMESS clamping systems consist of many modular elements that can be assembled simply, quickly and economically to form clamping and fixing devices that are accurate in position and reproducible.

Flexible
The ALUMESS clamping systems offer the user maximum flexibility and enable part-specific or customer-specific clamping solutions in the measuring room.

Stable
The components of the different systems are bolted directly together to form a stable, rigid connection. Due to the space-saving design of all components, optimum accessibility to the measuring point is achieved.
