Clamping Applications

PRECISION ACTUATORS FOR CLAMPING AND WORK HOLDING APPLICATIONS IN MANUFACTURING

With increasing requirements for quality and productivity, manufacturers need clamping solutions that deliver consistency, reliability, and cost-efficiency. A key factor in meeting these goals is the work holding system, used to securely clamp parts during value-adding operations.

Kyntronics hybrid servo actuators and servo power units provide the precise force required to hold materials in place, helping machine builders and end users achieve consistent performance, lower maintenance, and high product quality.

TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF KYNTRONICS ACTUATORS USED IN CLAMPING AND HOLDING APPLICATIONS:

• Metal forming and tube bending machines: Secure workpieces in place during bending, punching, or coining operations using high force and accuracy.
• Die clamping in stamping presses: Apply repeatable, high force clamping for metal stamping applications.
• Mold clamping in injection and blow molding machines: Control mold pressure precisely to improve cycle consistency and reduce product defects.
• Assembly line clamping: Hold parts steady during assembly using programmable force and positioning.
• Test fixture clamping: Apply repeatable force feedback for lab or field-testing accuracy.

UNIQUE FEATURES FOR CLAMPING AND HOLDING APPLICATIONS:

• Precise Force Control: Achieve accurate clamping force using hydraulic cylinder actuators, servo technology, or linear actuators with force feedback—ideal for delicate components or consistent pressure requirements.
• Flexibility Across Systems: Actuators can be programmed to meet specific speed, force, and positioning parameters, supporting diverse product runs on a single system.
• Optimized for Automation: Integrate easily into automated manufacturing lines, enhancing repeatability, safety, and efficiency.
• Reduced Tool Wear and Maintenance: Servo control of acceleration, deceleration, position, and force improves overall tool lifespan and lowers operational costs.

Kyntronics actuators outperform traditional actuation systems, including hydraulic cylinders, air-over-oil cylinders, pneumatic actuators, and ball/roller screw EMAs. Our technology blends the best of each into compact, intelligent solutions for high-force applications.
