Gerardi presents Double Zero Point, the evolution of the Zero Point positioning and clamping system. Zero Point represents the ideal solution for an immediate positioning and for the precise, fast and firm clamping of equipments on the machine tools.
The Zero Point is a system ‘normally closed’, that uses die springs which allows the clamping of the pull-stud through the spheres located inside, while the filtered and lubricated compressed air enables the release.
Double Zero Point has been developed by the need to clamp workpieces and fixtures of all kind of shapes and sizes. Thanks to a grid system it allows to get an immediate reconfiguration always granting the highest precision, and also ensuring maximum accessibility and machining on 5 sides.
Zero Point allows to set up jobs in few seconds on the machine, saving around 95% set up time, increasing production and reducing scrapes. Double zero point allows to change the position of the Zero Point units to clamp and position fixtures.
