DESTACO Introduces Front-Mount-Base Manual Clamp Models
New design offers four new options for horizontal or vertical handle action
Oberursel, Hesse (March 30, 2022) - DESTACO is pleased to announce that it is expanding the range of its horizontal and vertical toggle-lock Manual Clamp product line with the introduction of a front-mount-base model. The compact, space-saving front-mount base is designed to offer users additional flexibility in their workholding applications.
"The clamp's vertical foot provides for higher user flexibility. The position of the base leads to significant reduction in interfering contours," explained Nina Wolleb, Application Engineering Manager, Europe for DESTACO.
The front-mount option is available for inclusion on a total of four manual clamps that can be used with both vertical and horizontal handle action. The two vertical operating models - 2002-UF and 2007-UF - provide enlarged space for manual operations and increased safety. The horizontal versions - models 225-UF and 235-UF - have a flat design that creates space for larger hand clearance, which improves operational safety.
The new models use the same connection-hole pattern as existing models, along with the same spindles, pin holders and bolt retainers. All models have hardened bushings at key pivot points and the design does not interfere with the mounting connections.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
