The company FFT Production Systems has developed a mobile clamping system for the processing of large components. The system allows for individual adjustment options for different types of components with accuracies below one millimeter and short setup times. It can clamp and transport CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) large components of up to 8 meters in length. By using driverless industrial trucks, the clamping system can be automatically transported between processing stations. The system offers greater layout flexibility and accelerates processes through the electronic transmission of component and process data. It also enables non-destructive testing for quality assurance. The clamping system is based on a steel frame with carbon fiber reinforced plastic axes, which have high rigidity and almost no thermal expansion. The entire system is monitored by a PLC control unit and can be operated via a Human Machine Interface (HMI). An optical measuring system verifies the position of contour templates to ensure precise positioning of the components. [Extracted from the article]
