All-electric zero point clamping from Roemheld is new at MACH 2014
Roemheld (UK) will be launching its new range of electrical zero point mounting systems, the Speedy etec, at MACH 2014 (Birmingham NEC, 7-11 April). Visitors to Stand 5250 in Hall 5 will be able to view this latest 'green' technology, which is said to combine a compact design with a high insertion force of 7 kN and a retention force of 38 kN.
The Speedy etec is compatible with existing Roemheld hydraulic and pneumatic workholding systems and claims to offer high precision alongside low power consumption. Third hand function (DHF) ensures all positions can be adopted without modification, says Roemheld.
The Speedy etec is said to be an extremely safe zero point system as it offers a varied range of polling options. The system is also self-locking: ensuring the workpiece remains clamped even in the case of power failure, says the company.
"We launched the Roemheld vision of electric workholding at the last MACH, so it is exciting to be at MACH 2014 exhibiting the result of all the R&D and testing that has taken place since to bring this innovative product to market," says Bill Neal, joint managing director of Roemheld (UK)."
