The quick-change system from norelem is a flexible solution for positioning and fixing small workpieces on measuring systems and microscopes, for example. The system is used in particular when a low clamping force but high precision is required.



The norelem quick-change system for zero-point clamping of fixtures is made up of various components. These include base plates, quick-change clamps, add-on elements - usually adapters to connect clamping elements and quick-change clamps - as well as clamping elements, i.e. vices, jaw chucks or needle rests.



Quick-releaseclamps connect base plates and assembly elements New in the norelem range are quick-release clamps that can be mounted directly onto a base plate or machine table as base elements using a T-slot or thread. norelem offers various base plates, for example base plates with a T-slot and those with M6 threaded holes. The quick-release clamps form the interface between the base plates and the add-on elements. The add-on elements in turn serve as an interface between the base and clamping elements and can be connected to them without tools. The norelem product portfolio includes three different add-on elements for free positioning in 3D space: aluminum adapters for precision vices and for three-jaw chucks as well as angle elements. The clamping elements from norelem can be used to position and fix small parts on measuring systems, microscopes, profile projectors and the like. The range includes four different variants: The precision vises, also available in miniature design, can be used to clamp workpieces quickly and easily for measuring on measuring machines, including those with internal bores. The precision three-jaw chuck manual chuck is particularly suitable for requirements where a low clamping force with high precision is required. The round workpiece is clamped by simply turning the clamping ring manually or using the clamping lever supplied. The needle support is ideal for clamping formed parts, as the spring-loaded needle plungers adapt to the shape of the workpiece when it is pressed in. By clamping the needle plungers, the workpieces are reproducibly positioned and fixed in the shaped workpiece holder.














Advantages of the norelem quick-change system

With the quick-change system from norelem, individual elements and even entire fixtures can be changed quickly and the system can be adjusted to new workpieces and processes. For example, clamping elements of all categories can be positioned quickly and easily using an adapter and fixed with a positive fit. Fixtures can be disassembled an infinite number of times and completely reassembled or reassembled exactly the same: Reproducibility saves time and costs, and the running time of the machine is significantly increased - a clear advantage over the usual one-way fixture construction.
