air Work clamping system

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical specifications and operational guidelines for various air clamping systems, including models such as CTX, CLX, and CTY. It focuses on different types of clamps like air swing clamps, air link clamps, and air work supports, detailing their features, specifications, and performance metrics.
Main Sections:
  • Specifications: Each model's specifications are detailed, including cylinder force, swing angle, and clamping force. The document specifies the pressure range, operating temperature, and fluid used, emphasizing the need for dry and filtered air.
  • Procedures: Instructions are provided for mounting, dismounting, and adjusting the clamps, including guidelines for speed control and the use of optional components like the speed controller model VCL.
  • Performance Tables: Tables illustrate the relationship between air pressure, cylinder force, and clamping force for different models, providing formulas for calculating clamping force based on arm length and air pressure.
  • Sensor Functionality: The PAL sensor function and structure are explained, detailing how sensors detect clamp, unclamp, and over clamp stroke conditions, highlighting the role of steel balls and sensor valves.
  • Diagrams and Figures: Pneumatic circuit diagrams and performance graphs are included to aid in understanding the operation and setup of the clamping systems.
Key Features:
  • Built-in sensors for compact and efficient design.
  • High-speed production line compatibility through synchronized operation with workpiece lifters.
  • Adjustable swing speed to prevent damage to the cam groove.
  • Resistance to chlorine-based cutting fluids.
Recommendations: The document advises on the proper use of clamps within specified ranges to avoid damage and ensure optimal performance. It also recommends regular maintenance and checks to prevent sensor detection failures due to metal chip deposits.
CTX Series Overview: The CTX□-□T Air Swing Clamp is a double-acting pneumatic clamp with a 3-point sensor model. It includes details on sensor signals, air pressure settings, and mounting instructions.
CTX Specifications: Models CTX32, CTX40, CTX50, and CTX63 have varying dimensions and capacities, with cylinder force ranging from 330 N to 1310 N at 0.5 MPa air pressure. The swing angle is 90°±3°, and the clamp stroke is consistently 10 mm across models.
Sensor Signals and Air Pressure: Sensor signals for clamp and unclamp operations are outlined, including detection of over clamp strokes. Secondary air pressure settings are 0.03 MPa when exhausted and 0.195 MPa when shut off.
Performance and Usage: Clamping force calculations are provided based on air pressure and clamp arm length, with advice against using the clamp outside the specified range to prevent damage.
Mounting and Piping: Detailed instructions are provided for mounting the clamp arm and configuring the air sensor piping, emphasizing the use of dry, filtered air and recommending specific check valves.
Additional Features: The new PAL sensor offers improved sealing performance and reduced air leakage, allowing for better pressure holding and reduced air consumption.
CLX Series Overview: The document provides detailed technical specifications and guidelines for the use of air link clamps, specifically models CLX32, CLX40, CLX50, and CLX63, designed for industrial applications where precise clamping force and positioning are critical.
CLX Specifications: Each model has specific parameters for air pressure, allowable eccentricity, and clamp arm length, with tables outlining non-usable ranges to avoid malfunction.
Procedures: The operation of the air link clamps is outlined, including clamping and unclamping processes, highlighting the importance of maintaining air pressure in the unclamping side.
Performance: Performance diagrams and tables illustrate the relationship between clamping force, air pressure, and clamp arm length, with formulas for calculating clamping force.
Mounting Details: Detailed dimensions and mounting instructions are provided, specifying recommended materials and dimensions for manufacturing clamp arms.
Recommendations: Best practices for using the clamps are advised, such as ensuring the clamp arm is parallel to the clamping surface and avoiding non-axial forces on the piston rod.
Caution: Users are cautioned against exceeding the maximum allowable load for the link mechanism, stressing the importance of selecting the appropriate clamping force based on the clamp arm length.
