Electric Clamp Release Units

RÖHM Products of America has expanded its e-QUIPMENT line to include new clamp release units. Designed for manufacturers looking to conserve energy and reduce costs, all e-QUIPMENT products are powered by electricity instead of hydraulics, helping to make the concept of all-electric machine tools a reality.

"Unlike hydraulically actuated clamping units, energy-efficient e-QUIPMENT clamps only require energy during actuation, eliminating the need for on-demand hydraulic power," said a company spokesperson. "Additionally, these units are far more intelligent than hydraulically actuated units. The machine control electrically manages clamping forces and strokes, optimally adjusting them to save time and facilitate the processing of delicate workpieces. Forces can be adjusted during operation, such as reducing clamping force during a finishing process to avoid workpiece deformation.

"Replacing hydraulics and pneumatics with electro-mechanically actuated e-QUIPMENT can save more than 10,000 kW per year of energy per machine tool and offer faster cycle times. In addition, electrical components are more compact, resulting in space-saving, minimal-maintenance clamping and gripping systems. Storage, replacement and disposal of hydraulic fluids are eliminated along with the risk of environmental contamination."

In addition to the new clamp release units, the electro-mechanically actuated e-QUIPMENT line includes steady rests, clamping heads, grippers, cylinder systems (with and without through holes) and tool locking systems.
