The function of this unit is simple: the back jaw of a clamp is pushing the plate back, so front jaw of the clamp and a stopper module are clamping the workpiece,
It is important to understand the floating fixture principle in general:
- The set utilises the RMF Unit, so that a clamp and a stopper clamps around the workpiece
- This ensures that the set is adjusting to the workpiece location, ensuring the workpiece is not misaligned
- It also means that the workpiece must be located by other means.
Originally designed as an option for Multi-Rail RM base rail, this unit also works effectively on RL base rails. In addition when clamping is automated using ELVA electrical actuation or hydraulics, these modules work brilliantly.
