Manual coupling systems
Our manual coupling systems are used on machine tools that operate with hydraulic jigs and fixtures but are not equipped as standard with a hydraulicinterface to the hydraulic oil supply of the jig pallet. Coupling and uncoupling are executed by the operating staff. This coupling process can be executed with two snap-lock couplings but then there is always the risk of mixing up the pressure and tank lines, the coupling process takes considerably longer and the necessary safety devices must be installed externally. With the new manual coupling system from HYDROKOMP you use a compact sub-assembly that is quick and easy to couple up and in which all the necessary safety elements are incorporated, such as the receiver register to protect against excessive pressure. Manometer, releasable non-return valve, pressure relief valve and reservoir are all integrated in a space-saving manner. The coupling unit can be equipped with two different hydraulic reservoirs.
The manual coupling nipple unit (MKN) is placed on the device. The manual mechanical unit is located outside the machine and is connected to an external unit. The operator couples the two units so that the medium can be transferred. The workpiece is released or clamped. After the clamping process, the units are uncoupled and the workpiece can be machined.
