Unclamp Units
Precision Tool Release for High-Performance Machining
In OTT-JAKOB's clamping systems, tools are held securely by spring force. To release the tool, an external force is applied via the unclamping unit. These units are designed to minimize spindle bearing load, enhance machine uptime, and integrate seamlessly with OTT-JAKOB's modular clamping components. Their compact design and optional sensor integrations make them suitable for modern, high-speed machining environments.
Key Features
