HFC - HYDRAULIC FORCE CONTROL Control Clamp Force Automatically and Reduce Product Damage over clamping by controlling clamp force automatically. Excessive clamp force caused by too much hydraulic pressure is one of the most common causes of damage to paper rolls. Mechanical 3-position relief valves are under-utilized or primarily left on the high setting. HFC (Hydraulic Force Control) solves these issues by automatically adjusting clamp force. HFC is a hydraulically controlled automatic clamp force system that changes the clamp force proportional to the load weight. It works by continually sensing the hydraulic pressure necessary to lift the load and adjusts clamping pressure as the weight of the load increases or decreases. The system operates without any special actions on the part of the driver. Conveniently sized hydraulic valves mount easily onto the cowl of lift truck. Innite adjustment of clamp force in the capacity range of the attachment. The system adjusts clamp force proportional to the roll weight. When installed with the equalizing valve, the clamp force remains constant between Freelift and Mainlift. Accomplished with the use of a switch that determines if the clamp is in Freelift or Mainlift. HFC is exible, allowing easy adjustment for: • All clamp force settings • Maximum pressure • Balancing clamp force between Freelift and Mainlift • Balancing clamp force when the size of the truck and clamp are not ideally matched. Compatible with Split and Solid Arm Clamps. No need to change driver habits. Driver can use normal operating procedure: Close clamp arms on load and then hoist load off ground. Hydraulics can be feathered to allow driver to control clamp force on extremely small, light loads. Quick Installation only requires tapping into the Hoist, Clamp and Open lines. Low maintenance system does not require an accumulator to charge the system (which can lose charge).
