Hydraulic work supports are used to provide a self-adjusting rest for the workpiece during the machining operations. They compensate the workpiece surface irregularities, also vibration and deflection under machining loads. Hydraulic locking is made together with hydraulic clamping of the workpiece, or independently.
Due to the self-locking function of the support plunger, these work supports are particularly suitable for:
••Manufacturing systems with pallet store
••Clamping fixtures with workpiece loading via handling systems
••Transfer lines
••Automatic manufacturing systems
••Assembly lines
••Indexing machines
••Special machine to
