COMPACT CLAMP HAS PATENTED KINEMATICS
A new, compact, hydraulically-actuated clamp suitable for securing workpieces and fixtures in confined spaces, repeatably and with high force, has been introduced by Roemheld (UK) (www.roemheld.co.uk). The B 1.8270 workholding system is particularly well suited to clamping castings, dies, moulds and fixtures prior to metal cutting, especially those that need to be held on narrow grooves, recesses or pockets. The design of the kinematics that allows such high holding force in a constricted area are sufficiently innovative to have been granted a patent. Rather than swinging or rotating into position, the clamping lever first moves horizontally to the point on
