Transfer Rail Couplings for Quick Die Changing Systems
Transfer rail couplings are designed to join and clamp the gripper rails on transfer presses. Manually operated, electromechanical, or hydro-mechanical locking can be used to support the system.
BERG transfer rail coupling
Manually Operated Eccentric Cam Style Transfer Rail Couplings
The mechanical self-locking gripper rail coupling is designed for manual coupling of gripper rails on transfer presses. A vertical life-out stroke is required for changing the tool. The coupling consists of a hard anodized aluminum housing, an axially movable tensioning rod and a self-locking eccentric cam gearing. This configuration allows high clamping forces and features a high dynamic rigidity with minimum mass.
Manually Operated Swing-out Style Transfer Rail Couplings
The mechanical self-locking swing-out style gripper rail coupling is designed for manual coupling of gripper rails on transfer presses. A short lift-out stroke is required for changing the tool. An axial stroke is required in the event of additional centering with pins. The coupling consists of a hard anodized aluminum housing, a swiveling tensioning rod and a self-locking eccentric cam gearing. This configuration allows high clamping forces and features a high dynamic rigidity with minimum mass.
Electromechanical Transfer Rail Couplings
The electro-mechanical gripper rail coupling is designed for automatic coupling of gripper rails on transfer presses. A vertical lift-out stroke is required for changing the tool. The coupling consists of a hard anodized aluminum housing, an axially movable tensioning rod and an electromechanical self-locking helical gearing. This configuration achieves a very high repeat precision, high clamping forces, and features dynamic rigidity with low mass.
Hydro-mechanical Self-locking Transfer Rail Couplings
The hydromechanical self-locking gripper rail coupling is designed for automatic coupling of gripper rails on transfer presses. A vertical lift-out stroke is required for changing the tool. The coupling consists of a hard anodized aluminum housing, an axially movable tensioning rod and a hydromechanical self-locking clamping gearing. This configuration allows for high clamping forces and features a very high dynamic rigidity with minimum mass.
