German to English: Spannsystem - Clamping System
Source text - German Wertvoll ist dieses Spannsystem auch und gerade für den Mann an der Maschine: So muss er nicht mehr lange nach den richtigen Spannunterlagen suchen, die beim Auflegen einer (schweren) Platte dann eh meist umgekippt sind. Das mühevolle und zeitraubende Anbringen von Spannpratzen entfällt, ebenso die Qual der Wahl, welches wohl die geeignete Position für das Spannmedium ist. Natürlich werden Hilfsmittel zum Ausrichten wie Messtaster immer intelligenter und auch in die CNC-Steuerungen der Werkzeugmaschinen werden zahlreiche neue Funktionen implementiert. Die Werkstücklagenkompensation ermöglicht es, die zu bearbeitenden Werkstücke ohne Ausrichtung aufzuspannen oder Wiederholfehler zu kompensieren. Die Frage, ob solche Funktionen sinnvoll sind, soll an dieser Stelle ganz bewusst gestellt werden, denn der qualitätsorientierte Werkzeug- und Formenbauer „denkt gerade“ und wird auf solche Funktionen gerne verzichten.
Translation - English The clamping system is also of direct value to the man at the machine: he no longer has to spend time searching for the correct clamping supports, which frequently tip over anyway when a (heavy) plate is applied. The troublesome and time-consuming action of fitting clamping claws is also no longer necessary, likewise the difficult task of deciding on a suitable position for the clamping medium. Of course, aids to alignment such as measuring probes will become ever more intelligent, and many new functions will be implemented in the CNC-controls of the tool machines. The workpiece position compensation makes it possible to clamp the workpiece to be machined without aligning, or to compensate for defects that arise through repetition. The usefulness of such functions is deliberately highlighted here, because quality-oriented tool and mould makers often favour "straightforward thinking" and can thus be reluctant to embrace technological advances of this kind.
