Unique “three finger” clamping
Pull down AND clamp with the highest of clamping forces – from 0,4 tons to 2,2 tons!
The unique clamping action achieves precision positioning of workpieces – ensuring the workpiece remains parallel to the reference surface.
Used in our clamps:
10940.W0210,
10880.W0105,
10920.W0125,
11040.W0025,
11041.W0080,
11042.W0027,
11043.W0081,
11070.W0020,
11071.W0080,
11080.W0610 to 11083.
Our horizontal clamps have a unique “three finger” arrangement ensuring components are both pulled down and clamped in the same motion. The face of the clamp is made of three parts or fingers:
Available in two styles – smooth and serrated face. They can also cater for workpieces with an adverse angle on the clamping face – for example flame cut steel blanks.
The clamps’s outer flexible fingers 1 are approx. 0,254mm longer than the solid central finger/clamping stop 2, this slight difference in length means it is the flexible fingers which first come into contact with the workpiece.
As initial contact is made with the work-piece the flexible fingers 1 apply downward pressure forcing the workpiece down against the work table, the flexible fingers are compressed until they are the same length as the solid central finger/clamping stop 2.
As the solid central finger/clamping stop 2 comes into contact with the work-piece it applies high side clamping pressure to achieve clamping forces up to 2,2 tons (dependent upon clamping model selected).
During machining the uniquely designed flexible fingers 1 continue to flex and twist applying downward pressure to keep the workpiece flat to the work table throughout.
