Precision V-block Clamp and Steady System

The V-block Clamp and Steady is a complete tool guidance and support system for precision tool
manufacture. As the name suggests the unit consists of 2 distinct items V-block Clamp and Steady
each with separate functionality.

The V-block clamp uses an overhead clamp finger to hold the shank of the tool in a V shaped support.
This rigid support guides the shank of the tool using the V-block principle, reducing runout usually present
when just using a collet.

The Steady is the perfect complement to the V-block clamp offering additional support to the tool.

To assist in setting up the V-block Clamp and Steady, both units are equipped with fine adjusting
mechanisms ensuring complete degrees of freedom and accuracy.

When setup correctly the Precision V-block Clamp and Steady System will achieve a consistent tool runout
of less then 0.004mm (measured at 50mm from collet nose) in either manual or automatic loading.

To complement the V-block clamp and steady a specially designed collet adaptor is used that provides the
necessary clearance to ensure optimum grinding freedom. The collet adaptor uses Schaublin W80-4 ultra
precision flat nose collets.

iView
iView is a Tool Measurement System developed by
ANCA. It can be quickly setup inside the machine
and will provide key tool measurement data.
Because the tool is measured in the same
clamping as ground the measured data can be fed
back into the grinding cycle for exact
compensation.

iView can provide accurate measurement of tool

features such as outside diameter, tool profile, 3
point angles, 3 point radius, 2 point distance and 3
point parallel distance. iView provides a semi-
automatic measurement mode for quick
measurement of tool profiles

The measured data is accurate to 2 micron. DXF

files for profile tools can be imported and overlaid
for measurement and comparison. iView can also
generate a printable measurement report after
measurement is complete.

The iView camera is not fitted in the machine during the grinding process. A precision camera
mount block located in the machine means quick and repeatable camera positioning when tool
measurement is required.

There are 2 camera magnification options available, 100x and 300x magnification. The
difference between the 2 cameras is the viewable area and measured accuracy.

Camera Magnification Viewable area Accuracy

100x 2.4mm x 1.8mm (.094x.070) 0.006mm (.0002)
300x 0.8mm x 0.6mm (.031x.023) 0.002mm (.00008)

Where iView is required to be used over several ANCA tool grinders, only one camera is
required. The iView camera is totally compatible over all ANCA X class grinding machines and
therefore can be shared between them.

Fire Protection System

The fire protection system incorporates an industrial fixed aerosol fire suppression canister,
control panel, heat detector, break glass switch and fittings.

The system uses Pyrogen self-generated aerosol fire extinguishing agent. The aerosol is
generated from a solid chemical which is electrically or thermally ignited. This produces
combustion products that are mixed into an aerosol and cooled to ensure flameless discharge
and uniform distribution into the fire area. As the aerosol is self generated, no pressure
cylinders or piping is required. The system is automatically triggered via a thermal detector or
may be operated via a break glass switch.

Part Number : 965-0-00-9300

Pyrogen Canister (fire system)

When a PYROGEN fire system is selected to

be fitted to the RX7 it is supplied standard

PLX Grippers

The PLX requires 3 different sets of grippers to get the tool from the Pallet into the work
holding in the machine. The 3 grippers sets are as follows: -

Pallet Gripper (E) Takes the tool from the

pickup pallet and passes it to the transfer
gripper. Also takes tool from transfer gripper and
places it in store pallet. There are 2 sets of pallet
grippers, 1 for taking the tool from the pickup
pallet and another for placing the tool in the
store pallet. Pallet grippers are ordered as a set.

Transfer Gripper (D) Orientates the tool

from vertical to horizontal. Passes and receives
tool from index gripper.

Index (slide) Gripper (A/B) There are 2

sets of index grippers, Load and unload. One
gripper unloads a finished tool from the machine
work holding and the other loads a new blank
tool. Despite the 2 grippers having different
functions they are identical in design.

CLX - Compact Loader for Round Shank tools

Part Number : 980-1-00-0000

Specification

Diameter range = 3 20mm

Max length = 160mm

Max weight 1kg (Tool only)

Approximate loading time is 50sec

The CLX is basically a simple swing down arm with a set of gripper fingers attached to the
end of it. Once the loader arm swings down into position it remains stationary. Movement of
the machine axes completes the load and unload sequences by bringing the headstock and
pallet to meet the stationary gripper fingers. Other then the arm dropping down, the CLX
has no independent axes of its own. By making use of the machine movements has greatlt
simplfied the CLX and has resulted in a very low cost automation option.

Designed to meet strict space and budget specifications, the CLX is fully-contained within
the existing machine canopy and therefore does not increase the footprint of the machine as
many other loaders can do
