Roemheld electro-mechanical wedge clamps for injection moulding machines and presses

Roemheld has introduced a range of programmable, electro-mechanical wedge clamps for sliding tables, injection moulding machines and presses. These offer a hydraulic-free solution for automatic clamping, even in clean room conditions. As all functions are monitored electrically, the wedge clamps can be easily integrated into automated systems.

The 24 V version of the wedge clamp offers retention forces of up to 240 kN at a current of just 3.8 A. This makes the clamping elements particularly suited to systems in which dies and moulds have to be secured in tight spaces, with high clamping forces. The clamping and release position of the bolt can be freely programmed up to a maximum stroke value of 25 mm.

Integrated position monitoring components indicate the position of the bolt at all times, while data collection in conjunction with the programmable drive enables full automatic
