Coupling technology designed for sectional gripper-rail attachment in transfer systems used in press automation. Featuring a patented force amplification system, the clamping design assures a high stiffness and high precision connection. The lightweight, compact high-durability couplings can be adapted easily to every current gripper-rail profile. Not only can the sectional rail couplings be installed by the OEM, they can easily be retrofitted into existing systems.
Design Characteristics
• Horizontally or vertically joinable
• Manual or pneumatic clamping
• High clamping forces through wedge clamping kinematic
• High dynamic stiffness – very short clamping times
• Maintained with minimal clamping forces even in case of pressure loss
• Compact dimensions – lightweight
• Electrical indication of clamping status
• Compensation of sectional rail offset of up to ± 5mm
• Robust design made from tempered steel – corrosion-protected
• Pre-centering via centering pin
• High durability – minimal maintenance costs
