Minimizing clamp force means minimizing product damage and maximizing productivity and profits. The right clamp force. Load after load. WHAT IS AFC? AFC (Adaptive Force Control) is a computer-controlled clamping system, transparent to the driver, that automatically controls the clamp force in proportion to the load weight. Using a preprogrammed ratio based on roll weight and paper type, AFC sets the optimal clamp force each time a roll is grabbed, without demanding driver input. Automatically applies the correct system pressure so the optimal clamp force is applied to the roll without driver input. Gurarantees that driver can’t spike hydraulic system with handle movement to overclamp the load. If roll sizes or types change after setup, AFC system parameters can be easily reprogrammed using a laptop or desktop computer. AFC can be easily programmed to adapt clamp pressure for special environmental factors such as driving over dock plates. AFC automatically reclamps the load if the clamp pressure drops below a user-defined value. Driver-friendly clamp and hoist light indicates a hoistready condition. Operates in both lift-first-tilt-second mode and tilt-first-lift-second mode. APPLICATIONS Used where limiting pressure is required to prevent outof-roundness, or for any pressure-sensitive roll where overclamping can cause damage. AFC is especially valuable in converting applications handling both large full-size rolls and smaller diameter rolls. AFC replaces manually operated pressure control devices. Load Cushion™—hoist system accumulator that absorbs shocks, reducing the clamp force required to handle the load. Great for potholes, railroad tracks and rough-and-tumble driving conditions. Electronic Drop-Stop Valve—prevents pads from sliding down roll and tearing paper after unclamping roll in slack-chain condition, and prevents pad jump when used with an accumulator. Digital Display—shows the clamping pressure in the circuit at all times, indicating that the clamping circuit is functioning properly.

INCLUDED WITH AFC Digital Display OPTIONS Three-Setting Switch Shows the clamping pressure in the circuit, indicating that the clamping circuit is functioning properly. Load Cushion™ For applications with a wide varience in load weights or where one clamp handles significantly different paper types. Voltage Converter DC-DC Hoist System Accumulator that absorbs shocks and reduces the clamp force required to handle the load. Available in one-pint and onequart sizes.
