Doucet SRX Hydraulic Clamp Carrier

DOUCET | SRX HYDRAULIC CLAMP CARRIER

The ideal clamping solution for panels, stair components, rails, posts and architectural millwork.

The Doucet SRX Hydraulic Clamp Carrier is an industrial clamp carrier that is available in working lengths from 6 ½’ to 24 ½’ and with 6 to 80 sections (clamping layers). The powerful hydraulic power unit is used for rotating the clamp to the next section and on request is also used for tightening. Available with standard acme screw or rapid change clamps from 2 ½” or 3 ½” with 32” to 52” maximum opening. For thicker material, the clamps can be outfitted with 4” or 6” clamp extenders making it ideal for clamping posts or beams.

All Doucet SRX clamp carriers come with heavy-duty panel clamps, the heaviest and sturdiest in the industry. The “U-shaped” notched bar never bows improving clamp life. The notches on the clamp allow a rapid positioning of the movable jaw and a gain in efficiency. Clamps are designed to deliver the highest clamping force up to 5000 lb. The torque ratio is infinitely adjustable and capable to reach the perfect pressure at the glue joint. The fixed position 8’’ wide jaw, for high volume applications, increases the productivity by 15 to 20% by removing the non-value-added tasks of the operators to move clamps between panel length changes.

Why Doucet SRX Hydraulic Clamp Carrier?

Clamp Carriers are available in a wide range of configurations from 6 ½’ to 24 ½’ wide and from 6 to 80 sections
Heavy duty clamps: 2 ½” or 3 ½” jaw height capacity by 32″ to 52” opening, Rapid change or Acme screw
Powerful hydraulic unit for rotation and clamping (optional)
Optional pneumatic panel flattener eliminates uneven panels during clamping process

KEY ADVANTAGES

Rotative frame according to the required configuration (see Options tab)
Hydraulic power unit
Hydraulic tightening tool with joystick control, and built-in torque control valve mounted on a sliding carriage moving across the front rest of the clamp carrier
Hydraulic rotation motor and speed reducer with joystick forward/reverse control
Valve for tightening torque calibration relative to material thickness and center to center spacing on clamps (as per pressure charts); for a perfect control over tightening pressure regardless of panel thickness
Pneumatically actuated front rest and section support
Panel flattener installed on a sliding carriage with flattering and release commanded by a manual rocking valve, downward force of the panel flattener up to 750 lb
Light compressed air consumption of only 3 CFM

OPTIONS

Heavy duty clamps 2 ½” or 3 ½” by 32″ to 52″ opening, standard (acme screw) model, rapid change or at fixed position 8’’ wide jaw model
4″ or 6″ rocker plates for posts or blocks
If needed, the clamp carrier can be equipped with single or dual tightening/panel flattener stations
Hold-down: this accessory consisting of two welded telescopic tubes is designed to be inserted into the clamp above the material; it helps preventing thin stick, ¾” or less, from popping-up while under pressure
For added productivity and flexibility, Doucet SRX Clamp Carriers are available with the Robotic Operator, model RT100 the Robotic Loosener, model RL100 or the Twin Robotic Operator, model RLT100.
RFID tracking device to follow and link it to your database for quality control validation
Available for special applications for gluing linear arched panels; a new pivoting rocker plate has been designed that allows the moving clamp to follow the radius of the panel during clamping

CNC Series: How does cutting speed affect your cutter life?

Machinery Solutions

If you want to extend your cutter life, you need to produce an optimum chip load. And to achieve faster feed rates, you need to have axis servo drives large enough to move the machine’s mass at a rapid speed.
