GIE Media’s Manufacturing Group
About the presentation
Röhm has been working since 2020 together with various machine tool OEMs (DMG Mori, WFL, and EMCO) to investigate the use of electronic sensors in clamping components to dynamically measure in real time the clamping force, temperature, and acceleration of workholding components (initially using lathe chuck jaws). The sensors are directly mounted behind the face of the workpiece clamp. The data from the sensors is transmitted wirelessly to the machine controls, and real time data can be displayed in the human machine interface. It can also be sent via a cloud to access using a handheld device with an app, which would open possibilities to retrofitting existing inventory and be available for various manufacturers’ equipment, ideal clamping or retaining the workpiece. At the same time, this avoids distortion or impingement, ensures perfect clamping force, uses margins for increasing efficiency, and moves forward with even more efficiency and safety.

About the company
RÖHM'S areas of expertise are the basis for our customers' success.
On this basis, we ensure that your interests are looked after in the best possible way – right across the entire product development process: From the concept phase and full technical project processing right through to production.
With a worldwide network of manufacturing bases, distribution establishments, agents, and optimum distribution logistics, we guarantee our customers maximum flexibility and service at all times. At our production locations, we only use state of the art machinery and technology. Examples of this include the special portal turning and milling machines for processing workpieces with diameters of up to 4m and a weight of up to 25 tons. Another example is the world's only drill chuck assembly line for the fully automatic manufacturing of keyless, self-tensioning, flat jaw drill chucks. This production line makes it possible to assemble approx. 92,000 drill chucks in 3 shifts on 5 working days. In a fully automated process, the engraving and quality control of the drill chucks is integrated as well as the assembly of the individual parts.
