EC Power Clamps
Power clamps are robust, automated clamping devices used in tooling systems to securely hold workpieces in place during machining, welding, or assembly operations. They deliver consistent clamping force, improve cycle times, and enhance safety by reducing manual intervention in high-precision manufacturing environments.
The EC Series features a toggle lock incorporating a “before center” mechanism, generating higher clamping forces. A built-in “stroke-to-go” feature delivers the highest industry standard for repeatability.
GL / GH Grippers
Grippers securely grasp, hold, and manipulate parts during automated or manual operations, enhancing precision, efficiency, and safety in manufacturing, assembly, and robotic applications.
The GL Series features a modular 360° swivel-head adjustment and works with flange and orbital rod mounts. The GH Series comes in mini, standard, and heavy-duty sizes, with 50 different gripper head combinations and 2/4-point gripping.
