Coupling technology designed for sectional gripper-rail attachment in transfer systems used in press automation. Featuring a patented force amplification system, the clamping design assures a high stiffness and high precision connection. The lightweight, compact high-durability couplings can be adapted easily to every current gripper-rail profile. Not only can the sectional rail couplings be installed by the OEM, they can easily be retrofitted into existing systems.
