| | Fixturing Pull Clamps Lock & Precisely Locate Workpieces Fixtureworks, Fraser, MI 7 May 2009 Ergonomics, precision and secure holding power...all available with the new, versatile lineup of Imao® pull clamps from Fixtureworks. The pull clamps are designed to provide high-accuracy workpiece locating, utilizing precision ground clamping pins that are used in conjunction with the fixture-mounted clamp mechanisms. The clamp devices apply downward pressure on the pins via a quarter turn of the clamp's handle that actuates a spiral cam (ball and groove) design; this in turn applies downward pressure on the workpiece and secures it in position. The accuracy of the pins help to establish additional locating precision beyond that provided by the fixture, while the ergonomic operation of the clamping base and easy loading of parts make these clamping systems ideal for high volume, repetitive jobs. | |
