| Series GRM1 Clamps ..... another hit for PHD! |
|
Smaller yes, but every bit as strong!
Just released a little over two months ago, the new Series GRM1 Clamps offer just as much workholding force as their big brothers, the Series GRM2. With less weight and a slightly smaller footprint, these clamps provide the same 225 pounds of total clamp force.
Weighing in at less than 1 pound and in an evelope size of 45mm x 45mm x 120mm tall the GRM1 is ideally suited for confined work areas or for robotic end-of-arm applications. Just like its big brother, this series also features PHD's cam-design technology that locks the jaws in the closed position even if air pressure is lost.
The Series GRM1 accepts all of the GRM2 standard tips. Also offered are jaw open/closed switches as well as switches that sense panel presence or double sheet detection.
Take a look at PHD's Series GRM1 Catalog for a solution to your next workholding application challenge. |

PHD Online Sizing Software Features Product Comparison!
This month, we spotlight our Online Sizing Software. This powerful eTool has helped many designers over the years by substantially reducing project design time and eliminating risk. Recently added is the ability to compare one PHD actuator's performance with another, head to head.
As illustrated below, users can input variables for application attributes such as actuator orientation, travel, payload, etc. and then compare multiple successful models for effects such as unit weight, flow rate, maximum payload at velocity, and more.
This compare capability gives the user a very quick look at several models of PHD actuators to help with their design selection. Recently added as well is the ability to quickly generate and obtain CAD files of your selection with just the press of a button.
