Simple, safe, affordable mechanical die/mold clamping solution

Features

• A safe, quick and simple way to clamp Dies, Work-pieces and fixtures
• Easily inserted into existing T-Slots, easy positioning without additional fixing
• Manually operated. No hydraulic or pneumatic components necessary
• Clamping force is obtained through the patented OPTIMA Toggle System. Full Pressure is achieved quickly and easily by turning the low torque "power nut" 180°

Hydraulic C-Fram Clamp

Features

• A safe, quick and simple way to clamp Dies, Work-pieces and fixtures
• Easily inserted into existing T-Slots, adapts to any Die width
• Allow semi-automated Die change operations
• Hydraulic activation assures quick and effortless clamping
• Generous piston stroke allows for variations in Die show thickness

Traveling Clamp

The HFS model is driven by an extremely rugged chain design the rides in the t-slot "head" area. This compact and maintenance free drive mechanism allows the clamps to be positions anywhere along their travel range. Once the clamp reaches the die, it's travel is halted by a proximity sensor and the clamp is hydraulically energized thereby securing the die. Clamp forces are continuously monitored via pressure switches in a redundant dual safety circuit. When unclamping, the clamp releases and is automatically retracted to it's "home position."

Features and Advantages

• Travel of up to 40 inches
• Use of New or Existing T-slots as small as 3/4 inch
• Operating Pressures of 2900 or 5800 psi
• Compact chain drive with Reversible 24VDC (115VAC) motor
• Electronic monitoring via two Proximity Switches
• Single Plug Multi-Pn Electrical Connection
• Generous Clamping Stroke (0.47")

An ideal solution for clamping lower dies where common sub plates are utilized.

Advantages:

• Very low installation cost
• Completely hydraulic operation
• Universal use by varying the base plates
• High force density
• Central control
• High clamping force
• Low maintenance costs
• Superior corrosion protection
• Low construction height
