How does the Flexline Quick Die Clamping System work?

The Flexline die clamping system is designed to handle large dies and presses efficiently, addressing flexible clamping requirements. Its modular design and variety of configurations allow it to be tailored for different press models and moulds, supporting both new installations and retrofits for individual presses or automated press lines.
Key Features:
- Versatile Design: Configurable with different clamping cylinders, including single- and double-acting types, to suit varying mould geometries and clamping edge dimensions.
- Automated Operation: Thrust chains driven by an electric motor automatically position the clamping device for uniform mould clamping.
- Customizable Options: Available with stroke lengths of 660, 820, or 1100 mm, and suitable for T-slot sizes such as DIN 650 (28 mm, 36 mm), 32 mm, and 1 1/16 inch (US market).
Clamping Elements:
- Single-acting and double-acting cylinders, offering clamping forces up to 104 kN per point.
- Spring clamping cylinders for high-temperature and long-duration clamping.
- Compact options, including a 90 mm single-acting cylinder at 400 bar for 104 kN clamping force.
Control & Safety:
- Integrated position control with inductive sensors and optional microswitches for precise monitoring.
- Ergonomic, automated operation reduces manual effort and enhances workplace safety.
Drive System:
- Multi-frequency motors (45 W), compatible with 400 V/50 Hz, 480 V/60 Hz, and UL standards.
- Motors can be mounted on either side post-installation, with flexible connection options.
Flexibility & Maintenance:
- Modular components ensure quick delivery, easy customization, and simplified maintenance.
- A product configurator enables quick customizations, including special versions for unique requirements like modified T-slot sizes or custom strokes.
Reliability:
- Supported by a global service network, the Flexline system offers spare parts and consistent updates to enhance compatibility and performance.
This adaptable, safe, and efficient clamping system is ideal for diverse production needs.
