The clamping technology of EMUGE-FRANKEN enables you to keep an eye on things!

Clamping technology for the production of telescopes
Binoculars allow us to look into nature and the world in front of us becomes clearer and more detailed. The possibility of being able to look at distant objects and people or even the universe is, as we can all certainly confirm, simply fascinating and has been from childhood. Binoculars or telescopes enable us to have fun discovering things and are rightly perennial favourites for Christmas and birthday presents.
It is obvious that specially designed telescopes also play a major role in the hunting and military sectors. The various uses are almost self-explanatory. The clamping technology of EMUGE-FRANKEN has developed and manufactured a clamping concept for manufacturers of telescopic sights, with which the main tubes are clamped for various and highly precise turning operations.
In this article, we take a closer look at the complex clamping concept that our colleagues have developed for this application.

The basics: Different designs and many lenses
Special designs require flexible clamping systems.

Sophisticated media transfer for operation and durability.
The clamping function is essentially based on springs and tensile and compressive forces on the machine-side. Nevertheless, we notice four media channels in the various components in the discussion of the clamping concept. Our colleague explains the functions of these channels to us.
- Channels 1 and 2: Cooling lubricant and sealing air for turning are transferred via these channels on the machine side.
- Channel number 3 does the following: To complete the final turning operation of the workpiece, the fence moves a defined distance away from the workpiece after pneumatic activation.
- Channel number 4 enables the lubrication of moving parts. This contributes to a reliable function and longevity of the clamping device.

Keep an eye on the big picture and take advantage of the benefits!
By the way, a recommendation for your next private purchase: The classic binocular has a significant advantage over the telescope, also called monocular: Both eyes are used with binoculars: This is much more comfortable for the user.
