IntroductionPrecision quick-clamping devices for cut-off operations on small components. The Qtool 40 Series includes two variants: the eccentric clamp Qtool 40 for fast, repeatable clamping and the screw clamp Qtool 40 S with a star handle for manual dosing of clamping force. An adjustable rear stop and a wide program of interchangeable clamping jaws allow adaptation to component geometry.
Highlights- Designed for small components: typical Ø 40 mm | Jaw width 60 mm
- Qtool 40 S: screw clamp with star handle for variable manual clamping force
- Qtool 40: eccentric clamp for fast and powerful clamping
- Adjustable rear stop for precise positioning during cutting
- Wide range of interchangeable clamping jaws to match part geometry
Technical data (summary)- Qtool 40: clamping range 0–60 mm | Jaw width 50 mm | Jaw height 25 mm | Clamping force approx. 1000 N
- Qtool 40 S: clamping range 0–50 mm | Jaw width 50 mm | Jaw height 25 mm | Clamping force variable (manual)
Compatibility (summary)Flexible mounting: direct via T-slot nut/spacing or via Easy plate (S/M). Examples of machine compatibility: Qcut 200 A (direct 8 mm / 60 mm; Easy plate S/M), Qcut 250 A (Easy plate S/M), Qcut 250 M (Easy plate S/M), Qcut 350 A (Easy plate S/M), Brillant 230 (Easy plate S/M).
Clamping jaws and application notes- General: Extensive jaw program to customize the Qtool to different component shapes and sizes.
- Round components: Use prismatic or bevelled jaws to create a defined 3-point contact and prevent slipping; round parts can also be clamped vertically using the cross prism and cut above the clamping device.
- Large components: High jaws increase clamping surface for geometrically large parts.
- Clamping the cut-off side: Slotted jaws clamp the cut-off side to reduce burr formation and minimize post-cut grinding before mounting.
Available clamping jaws (examples)- Standard jaw (supplied): height 25 mm, width 40 mm, universal (scope: 1 spare jaw)
- Bevelled jaw: height 25 mm, width 40 mm, 5° bevel for pressing down round material; for round parts up to Ø 50 mm (scope: 1 jaw)
- High jaw: height 45 mm, width 50 mm, for large components (scope: 2 jaws)
- High slotted jaw: height 45 mm, width 80 mm, keeps separated component clamped after cutting (scope: 2 jaws)
- Cross prism jaw: height 25 mm, width 40 mm, horizontal and vertical prism for 3-point support, vertical prism max Ø 17 mm (scope: 1 jaw)
- High slotted with prism: height 45 mm, width 80 mm, horizontal prism max Ø 17 mm, sample remains clamped after cutting (scope: 2 jaws: 1 slotted high + 1 slotted with prism)
