Adaptive Clamping Systems

A magnetorheological fluid (MRF) can also largely or completely enclose an irregularly shaped object. When applying a magnetic field to the MRF, the object is thereby fixed over a large area. In this way, clamping systems can be realized in which the workpiece to be clamped is loaded relatively uniformly. Thus, the clamping process is very gentle and is therefore particularly advantageous for filigree and delicate objects.
