Clamp Pressure Settings - All Machines

Manufacturer advice on clamp pressure settings

...Clamp settings are quoted in "bar". Newer regulators have a MPa scale where 1 bar=0.1MPa

Machining Centre

Clamp Name	Numbering / Ref	Factory Setting (bar)	Notes
Infeed Top		2.5
Infeed Side		2.5
Outfeed Top		2.5
Outfeed Side		2.5
V Notch		6
ZX5 Infeed Clamp Pad
Gripper Standard		6	Can be reduced if inner webs are crushed, but needs to be strong enough to grip see TB0257 Fault Finding Gripper Slip
Gripper TruLoc		1
ZX5 Infeed Wheel		1	The weight of the wheel system should be enough to produce enough friction. Too much pressure on this system causes damage to the rollers beneath

Saw Side
