Hydraulic clamps come with many options
Hinge clamp range uses revolutionary kinematics to offer double-acting low-cost hydraulic clamping with numerous mounting and connection options.
Bill Rowley, Production Engineer for Triumph, said: "We have been using Roemheld for clamping solutions from day one".
"In fact we specify Roemheld before we even specify the machine builder".
"Roemheld can accommodate both our standard clamping requirements and produce specialised solutions as needed".
The Heller line, which features Roemheld hydraulic swing clamps, block cylinders and work supports, produces cylinder heads and engine casings for the popular Rocket III model.
The Roemheld hydraulic clamps allow for quick and repeatable clamping of the components, which is key to the line's average 15 minute cycle time.
The operators need to load and unload in as short time as possible so single or two-handed start with air sensor clamping is the preferred method.
The Roemheld clamps also allow the necessary control of tolerance as many of the parts are thin-walled and quite delicate. Request a free brochure from Roemheld UK ...
