Abstract

The invention relates to a device for clamping of a machine table or a pallet on a machine bed or frame, whereby the machine table rests at several bearing points on support pins or the like which are arranged on the machine frame. The clamping force is applied by one single, central clamping device, which engages approximately in the center of a plate, which in turn is coupled in the area of the bearing points on the underside of the machine table. The plate serves to transmit the centrally applied tensioning force into the area of the support of the machine table in order to avoid bending or distortion to the machine table.
