Clamps handle tough jobgs
Lantec clamps are actuated with standard compact cylinders including magnetic pistons ranging in bore sizes from 25 to 50mm and 63mm
Lantec clamps operate utterly reliably even in harsh, high-pressure production facilities Initially developed for use with welding applications in the automotive industry they are also successfully used for clamping, holding, gripping and positioning of metal sheets, bar material and many other products on automated production equipment, special machinery, machine tools, presses, process equipment, tooling, jigs and fixtures throughout all areas of manufacturing industries

Automation engineers can obtain two separate movements on a single linear axis, saving design and assembly time plus an actuator.
New rotary actuators have internal air leads
Forming part of the Gimapick series Pick and Place Modules, the rotary actuators R32 and R63 are equipped with internal air leads.
The clamps are actuated with standard compact cylinders including magnetic pistons ranging in bore sizes from 25 to 50 and 63mm respectively for the narrow type.
Clamping torques range from 42 to 825nm and high holding torques apply when mechanically locked.
The clamp bodies are machined either in aluminium or steel, providing great physical strength, wear and shock resistance.
They are fully enclosed to protect the internal components from dirt and weld spatter.
The clamp lever mechanism is moving in hard-wearing linear guides to absorb the clamping forces and the arm shaft is pivoting in strong sinter bushes.
When closed they lock mechanically, ensuring the work pieces are securely held in position during the production process.
In normal operation the clamp will only unlock and open again when the cylinder retracts with compressed air.
An optional manual override is available in case of air loss.
There is a choice of rotation angles, arm positions and designs available as standard and special requirements can also be catered for on request.
