We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Clamping System",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Tube clamping system suits the food industry from
Automation Supplies, which we summarised at the time by saying "The clamping bores of the GN 131 two-way connector clamps are machined and designed for construction tubing GN 990 or DIN 2391, DIN 2395 and DIN 2462 respectively".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Magnetic clamping system tolerates 210C from
Roemheld UK: "The Hilma M-TECS 210 magnetic clamping system from Roemheld is the only system of its kind that can be used in rubber moulding where temperatures of up to 210C are required".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Oetiker UK
concerning its ELK01 v4
- take a look at Clamping system promises consistent performance
which says: "The Oetiker ELK01 v4 allows users to program specific closing parameters for clamps, including force and diameter setpoints and tolerances".
Take a look also at the news release from Surtech Surface Technology Products, Welding tables guarantee dimensional precision,
as well as Clamping system promises repeatable setups from Schunk Intec,
and Magnetic clamping plates provide flexibility from Schunk Intec.
