SCHUNK CNC Workholding for my DMG MORI DMU 50 - Vlog #38

Hey what's up everybody this is Titan, Titans of CNC. Before we begin to start I want to welcome you to the number one educational channel for CAD, CAM, and CNC. Make sure that you subscribe to our channel. Make sure you hit the like button and put the comments down below. I'm constantly looking at those comments and answering your questions in our daily vlog. I'm over here at and we're getting ready to cut some chips. So we are tooling it up. Last week I was in Tennessee speaking at a huge conference and it was absolutely amazing. But I was missing my baby. I couldn't wait to get back here. So now it's time to set this thing up and discuss the tooling that we actually decided to use. All right so we actually went with shunk vices and a shunk barrel s clamping station. All right so basically it's like a pallet with modules on it. You can actually see it right in here and it's a quick change super rigid setup. All right so it's kind of funny because I'm usually teaching people about clamping and about fixturing and about doing everything right. But in this particular case I was actually working on my big chess board and getting ready for IMTS and I went on LinkedIn and I said hey what is the best way to fixture this like 600 pound beast of material and a lot of people were saying the barrel s and I actually didn't know what it was. So I actually went in I saw that it was a shunk platform and I actually started looking at the mechanics behind it and I was like man I don't think this is necessarily perfect with my chess board but as far as when it comes to the DMG and the Mori and running all the aerospace parts and everything it is absolutely rigid. It's amazing and it's super quick right so it's all about efficiency. So before I actually show you how the vices lock into the table let me just explain something. All right so this pin right here actually locks into the bottom of the boom okay and you can see that there's two of them which keeps it not only locked in but it keeps it perfectly straight and the two vices parallel all right and the repeatability on these things is insane. So basically how this thing works is we actually created an air hose right here all right so we have a female right here we have a male right here so the clamping station is locked all I have to do is actually come over here and it opens see that see watch in there I'm going to release it oh it locks in place all right so all I have to do now is put the air on it drops in place take the air off it's locked it cannot move boom all right so air on and there you go all right super quick and super efficient so before we actually turn on the camera we actually indicated the clamping station the barrel is in place and locked it down all right so now all I have to do is grab this guy the KSG vice and and just lock it in place all right so now this thing is locked in but you can still pull it out see that so now I just grab this guy oh these guys just some rigid stuff right here so I don't want to grab it too much by the handle so grab this all right so as you can see two vices and they're absolutely perfect all right we got our hard jaws inside okay all I have to do right now basically take off the air boom that's it check it out so now oh it's rock solid that is a beast look at that so this thing is locked in there super tight right and and the cool thing is it's like if I want one vice or two vices I can put one or I can put two I can keep switching it up I'm going to show you something that's really cool right because sometimes you don't want vices you want pallets to go on here right so I'm going to actually take these guys back off you can't do anything pop it in there all right so let me let me explain this to you all right these are vices I'm using two of them on a five axis table and they're running parallel with each other okay because I'm over here trying to get my machine running my son's running machines down there and he's cutting ink and now as we like speak machines just like stealth mode making it happen so this is my piece of material so this material is going to go right between the two vices all right but what if I actually am running like a different type of five axis piece and I don't actually want this guy to actually be on the side and I don't want to take my pallet stations off the table well check out this this is the KSX five axis vice this thing is a beast it's so rigid and this is a pallet okay so this pallet actually has the same pins underneath and there are four of them so if I wanted to I could actually put the pins on top of this vice and taking the vice and actually popped it into the system but I wanted to center the vice on the table and I didn't actually want to take my barrel s off my table right I got it aligned I got a pin in here I got it all locked down I don't want to do that okay so what I did was I created a pallet system and we actually hooked the vice straight to the pallet system all right so this is a beast now watch it so I can't pick this up boom that's not going anywhere all right so you already can't move it but then I just take this guy off boom and it is locked solid to do all the five axis work boom complete beast mode all right so now I'm going to put this back on all right so the vice is on the table but it's not locked down yet so all I have to do is release it and now the pallet with the vice on is locked solid okay one of the other cool things about this vice is that when you open it all of a sudden you see this ring right here okay so what's cool is on my other vices I actually have torque wrenches and we call out our torque spec on our setup sheet so we don't crush the parts or we crush them enough the cool thing here is you don't need a torque wrench because the torque dial the mechanics is basically built into the vice so I just rotate this guy right so I'm going to go all the way over I'm going to go to 40 kn all right now I live in California what does that mean to me this is a kilonewton so that's 40 kilonewtons you have to basically take one kilonewton and figure out how many foot pounds that is and we know that it's 225 foot pounds okay so basically to figure out 40 I just go 40 times 225 that comes up to 9,000 so if I have my setting dialed here that'd be 9,000 pounds of pressure right here all right and then all I do is basically get it in the position pop this fat boy on and then it just locks in just like a regular torque wrench all right so and then it just pops in so one of the cool things is this steel pallet right here could be aluminum it could be thicker whatever your genius can think of you can basically like lock in and lock out in seconds all right so we have a vice now but you take the vice off you actually fixture a whole bunch of different parts on here and then have preset tools in a library so when you actually come into a new setup all you'd have to do is basically grab the pallet turn the air on lift it up and you grab this guy make sure you're fully clean make sure you're good we cleaned it previously boom lock that in place lock that in place take this out boom it's set that guy over there even that look at that see this little handle right there one of my employees Jeff actually took it upon himself to bend this so that we could actually put our hoses right there so now that I got these locked in let me just give you a clear understanding of how the torque features work on these vices all right so I can grab it right here or they have a bigger dial that you can use this is easy so basically I can just dial it here dial it here got a three and a half inch by seven inch piece of rectangle aluminum cut 15 and a half inches so I'm going to pop this guy in here open the vice boom make sure it's semi straight right there or you can use a stop now watch it so you can see right here I'm going to actually close the gap boom boom boom close the gap boom boom now it's locked right there see that guy right there I'm just going to move it over to 40 okay so I'm just gonna move it right there boom 40 so I'm going to move that over the 40 right there boom I'm going to close it then I'm going to put the handle on and lock it lock it boom all right so now this guy is locked in place so now if I want to open them I can open them like this and my hand can simply open it see that boom boom okay but if I don't want to do that with my hand all the time then they have these rings right here so you take these rings basically pop this over here boom pop this guy over here boom lock it all right so like this guy or you can use this little handle right here boom boom and then this guy simply goes in here boom there you go 9,000 pounds of pressure on this side and this side totaling 18,000 pounds of pressure holding this big old chunk of billet oh that's what you call a beast of a setup so I got my shrunk vices in here got my shrunk setup the barrel s oh I got my cannonball tooling in here and we're ready to rip some chips it's gonna happen machine gunning oh let's go baby all right you guys have a great day out there I will see you on the next video boom
