What to Look for When Buying Used Erowa Equipment
Erowa products are Swiss-engineered precision components designed for micron-level repeatability and long service life. Here is what to evaluate on used units.
Verify clamping repeatability and accuracy. Zero-point clamping is the core function of all Erowa tooling. Test repeatability by loading and unloading a reference holder multiple times and measuring positional variation. ITS specifications call for repeatability under 2 microns. Degradation may indicate worn contact surfaces, contamination, or loss of clamping force.
Test clamping force and pneumatic/hydraulic function. Erowa chucks rely on pneumatic or hydraulic actuation for positive clamping. Verify that the supply generates proper clamping force and that the chuck locks and unlocks cleanly. Check seals for leaks and confirm that status indicators report locked/unlocked state accurately.
Inspect robot mechanical condition and calibration. Verify smooth axis motion across full travel, test gripper function with representative loads, and confirm accurate pallet placement on each machine interface. Check teach points for positional accuracy. On larger systems (Robot Dynamic, ERD), inspect the swivel mechanism under load.
Confirm software licensing and integration. Verify that JMS 4.0 software licenses transfer with the equipment. Confirm compatibility with your machine controls and ERP/CAD/CAM systems. Test data transfer and verify that order management, scheduling, and reporting functions operate correctly.
Erowa Tooling & Clamping Systems
ITS System
The ITS (Integrated Tooling System) is Erowa's original and most widely adopted zero-point clamping platform. It provides sub-2-micron repeatability for electrode and workpiece positioning across EDM sinkers, wire EDM, milling machines, grinders, and CMMs. The ITS interface has become an industry standard in tool and mold making.
MTS, PowerChuck & VPC
The MTS handles larger workpieces with higher clamping forces while maintaining Erowa's precision standards. The PowerChuck series provides heavy-duty clamping for production machining environments. The VPC (Vise Power Clamp) integrates vise clamping with Erowa's standardized pallet interface, combining the familiarity of vise workholding with automation compatibility.
CleverClamp & Giant Tooling System
The CleverClamp system provides flexible fixturing for one-off and small-batch parts using modular clamping elements on a standardized grid. The Giant Tooling System (GTS) extends zero-point clamping to large and heavy workpieces (up to 2,000 kg and beyond) for heavy-duty machining applications in energy, power generation, and large-format mold making.
Erowa Loading Robots
Robot Easy Series
The Robot Easy series provides compact automation for single-machine loading with payloads from small electrode pallets through 800 kg (Robot Easy 800). These systems are the most common entry point for shops adding Erowa automation and the most traded on the used market.
Robot Compact, Multi & Dynamic
The Robot Compact handles mid-range payloads in a small footprint. The Robot Multi manages multiple machines from a single robot with extended magazine capacity. The Robot Dynamic and ERD series handle the heaviest payloads (up to 500 kg) with modular, expandable configurations that can grow with production needs.
Erowa Presetting & Process Control
Erowa presetting devices measure workpiece and electrode positions outside the machine, eliminating in-machine probing time and maximizing spindle uptime. The JMS 4.0 process control platform manages the entire production workflow from order entry through machine scheduling, robot control, data transfer, and reporting. JMS 4.0 connects ERP and CAD/CAM systems to production cells for a fully digital, automated manufacturing environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Erowa Equipment
Is used Erowa equipment reliable?
Yes. Erowa products are Swiss-engineered with precision-ground components designed for long service life. The company's clamping systems and automation platforms are built to maintain micron-level repeatability over decades of use when properly maintained.
Can Erowa systems integrate with any CNC machine?
Yes. Erowa tooling and automation systems are machine-independent and designed to integrate with CNC machines from any manufacturer. The standardized interface allows workpieces to move seamlessly between EDM, milling, grinding, and inspection equipment regardless of machine brand.
What should I inspect before buying used Erowa equipment?
On clamping systems, verify repeatability against published specifications, test clamping force, and check seals and contact surfaces. On robots, test axis motion, gripper function, and positional accuracy. Confirm that JMS software licenses transfer and that the system is compatible with your machines.
Does Erowa equipment hold its value on the used market?
Yes. Erowa's standardized interfaces, Swiss build quality, and long product lifecycles mean used equipment retains strong value. ITS tooling has been the industry standard for decades, and the interface is fully compatible across generations. Shops upgrading to larger automation systems are a consistent source of used Erowa equipment.
What industries use Erowa systems?
Erowa systems serve tool and mold making (the company's original market), aerospace, automotive, medical device manufacturing, electronics, energy, and precision contract manufacturing.
What Erowa products hold their value best?
ITS clamping chucks and holders, Robot Easy automation cells, and PowerChuck systems maintain the strongest resale values due to universal compatibility and broad demand. JMS 4.0 cells with integrated robots command premium values. Call (844) 478-8181 for current valuations.
