Since my first?DIY set of pneumatic clamps, I have been looking for novel ways to use air clamping everywhere I can. This idea is for a small, modular clamp that could be mounted onto a slider/MFT/MFT-equiv to allow for air assisted clamping. I know, I know you could do it manually with lots of different options and I have those options *but* there's something neat about pushing a button and having the clamping done for you :). The way my shop is setup, I have access to all the lines for the main set of clamps so, I just reuse all the switching components there; it's just a matter of running a couple of extension coiled airlines to get it to my work surface.?
This is a 50mm stroke actuator, really designed to hold workpieces less than 2" thick: Here it is next to it's bigger sister, Heidi which has a 100mm stroke. I haven't named her little sister yet, German names needed!? Attaches with 1/4-20 inserts to my DIY MFT-esque top, which I have on a FAT 300? Here's another angle of the small clamp:? What are you working on this Friday?? |

开云体育Sangluu,Nice job. I feel the same way but lack the machining capability. Anyways, Helga is a solid german name, albeit, ubiquitous. Imran Malik On Apr 8, 2022, at 1:32 PM, Sang Luu <sangluu@...> wrote:
