We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Clamping Systems",
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 Magnetic clamping system tolerates 210C from
Roemheld UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "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".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Celebrating 50 years of air and fluid connection from
Staubli UK (Connectors): "50 years on, Staubli remains focused on developing excellence in connection products and solutions right across the industrial sector".
In July 2006, we covered the news from Balluff UK
concerning its Gripper heads
- take a look at Grasping the need for sensors
which says: "Demand for robots equipped with multi function palletising grippers is constantly on the increase in the packaging industry".
Take a look also at the news release from Artificial Lift Company, Cable clamp takes new approach,
as well as Single and double acting rams from WDS,
and Vices enable free access to the workpiece from Roemheld UK.
