A method of manufacturing a modular clamping device for clamping a rotationally symmetrical body on a spindle head of a motor spindle to drive the rotationally symmetrical body to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the clamping device, the modular clamping device comprising a clamping element configured to establish a clamping connection with the rotationally symmetrical body and a first intermediate piece,
- the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first intermediate piece assortment comprising a plurality of prefabricated, standardized first standard intermediate pieces, each of said first standard intermediate pieces having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein each of said first standard intermediate pieces provides at its proximal end an interface to the spindle head or to a base unit arranged on the spindle head, and wherein each of the first standard intermediate pieces provides at its distal an interface end for a second intermediate piece or for a clamping element, wherein the interfaces at the proximal and/or distal end differ within the first intermediate piece assortment;
- selecting the first intermediate piece from the first intermediate piece assortment;
- manufacturing the clamping element;
- and
- arranging the first intermediate piece relative to the clamping element in such a way that the first intermediate piece is arranged in axial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis between the spindle head and the clamping element when the clamping device is mounted to the spindle head.
