Ultrasonic Sensors

The ultrasonic sensor sends an ultrasonic pulse from the bottom of the clamp and the signal is reflected back to the sensor off the bottom of the plunger. The sensor measures the return time and gives an accurate position reading for the clamp.

• Ultrasonic position sensing clamps provide accurate and repeatable clamp position measurements.
• Sensing available for TuffCam Swing Clamps, VersaCam Swing Clamps, TuffLink Link Clamps, and Block Body Cylinders.
• Repeat accuracy of +/-.002.
• Works with up to 5000 psi of hydraulic pressure.
• Accuracy unaffected by heat up to 185° F
• Simple to use with IO-Link.
• All components rated to at least IP67.
• All in one Vektek ultrasonic position sensing packages for easy integration. 
• Easy trouble shooting for identifying failed clamp or unclamp states.

• Design allows for versatile mounting in any SAE 4 port regardless of orientation. 
• Usable on multi-circuit pallets. (One unit required per circuit.) 
• Probe extends Appx. 0.1" when pressurized. 
• Pressure can be easily changed by turning blue pressure adjustment collar.

Zero-Point Systems

ECONOMICAL, PRECISE, QUICK

By using modern VEKTEK  Zero-Point systems, you optimize fixture and workpiece changeover in your production, correspondingly reduce set-up times on the machine and in turn, SAVE MONEY! 

Some of the benefits by using Vektek Zero-Point clamping technology are:

• Increased machine run-time.
• quick workpiece or fixture changeover.
• High repeatability.
• A uniform interface for all machines.
• Positioning and clamping in a single step.

Digital Pressure Switch

• Large 4 digit LED pressure display Requires power (15-35 VDC), not functional unpowered
• Programmable hysteresis or window function, NO or NC. 
• Easy 3-Button programmable electronic pressure switch. 
• 2 digital or I/O-Link switching outputs, PNP or NPN. 
• Single analog output, 0-10 V or 4-20 mA. 
• Set pressure range of 0-5800 psi. 
• Programmable set and reset pressure for each output. 
• Environmental protection rating of IP67.

Low/High Valve

• Clamp with lower pressure to position parts then clamp with high pressure once sequence pressure has been met on the rest of the circuit.
• Common inlet port feeds both sequence and reducing valves in parallel. 5 (SAE 2) manifold ports: 3x Inlet and 2x Outlet. 4 (SAE 4) ports: 2 x Inlet, 2x Outlet.
• Use with single or double acting devices. Block includes standard Sequence and PRV cartridges.
• Can be sandwiched with a PRV/Sequence Combo block.
• Enough space is provided on the block to accommodate a Gauge for setup or troubleshooting.
• Recommended Filtration: 25 Micron (NOM) / 40 Micron (ABS) (minimum).

Alternating Valve

Unlock precise control with our new on-pump Alternating Valve, designed to reduce part stresses during machining. This is achieved by adjusting force levels throughout the machining process using 24 VDC. Apply light force during initial clamping and transition to full force when ready. Alternatively, you could start machining at full force and decrease pressure to reduce stress on the machined part before re-clamping.

Pressure Confirmation Cylinder

Utilize your in-machine probe to CONFIRM PRESSURE ANYTIME during the machining cycle!
