Pneumatic Flex Locators for Fast, Precise Fixture Changeovers

Automated positioning and clamping for efficient fixture changes in production equipment

IMAO's Pneumatic Flex Locators combine accurate positioning and secure clamping to enable quick changeovers of fixtures, plates, and tooling. Designed for automation machinery, the product range offers solutions for applications ranging from compact setups to heavy-duty workholding.

- Fast Clamping for Efficient Changeovers

Positioning and clamping are completed in a single operation, simplifying fixture changes and reducing setup time. By enabling quick, repeatable changeovers, Pneumatic Flex Locators help minimize machine downtime and improve production efficiency.

- High Repeatability and Clamping Force

The Heavy Duty models achieve high positioning accuracy through dual contact between the tapered surface and the plate seating surface, with repeatability of up to 0.003 mm.

Clamping forces are available up to 26,000 N with the Heavy Duty model's Turbo function. With options ranging from compact locating solutions to high-force clamping, the product range supports a variety of workholding requirements.

- Flexible Options for Different Applications

The product range includes Light Duty and Heavy Duty models with different locating configurations and clamping mechanisms. Single-acting models use spring force for clamping, allowing the clamped state to be maintained without an air supply. Double-acting models use pneumatic pressure for both clamping and unclamping, with a mechanical locking mechanism available to maintain the clamped state without air.

These options allow users to select a suitable locator according to the required positioning accuracy, clamping force, installation space, and operating conditions.

With accurate positioning, quick changeovers, and a range of clamping capacities, IMAO's Pneumatic Flex Locators provide a versatile solution for improving setup efficiency in automated production.
