Automatic Positioning System
OML’s APS (automatic positioning system) is a universal connection between the machine tool, the clamping device and/or the workpiece that allows flexibility in both positioning and clamping in one operation. The system uses oiled, compressed air for unlocking and a spring force for clamping. Advantages include shortened setup times and increased productivity, the company says.
