Advantages of the lightweight Clamp Seamless integration into your production process.

Greater dynamism and energy efficiency thanks to weight savings

  • Net weight of just 3.5 kg including servo drive (the valve block on the gripper may be omitted), resulting in:
    • less dead weight in the movement
    • faster movements and shorter cycle times
    • lower energy consumption by the robot or the option to select a smaller robot
    • Shifting the control system into a dynamic, non-critical range

 

Higher energy efficiency

  • No holding current required due to self-locking design
  • by eliminating the pneumatics and the inefficient generation and maintenance
  • Reduction in moving mass

Integrated component detection when using a servo drive

  • Greater process reliability
  • Monitoring of the clamping process

 

High flexibility

  • Variable clamping points for different components
  • Faster changeovers
  • Minimal cabling required
  • Supply voltage of 48V (safety extra-low voltage) when using an FFT servo drive
  • The use of a proprietary drive concept requires minimum technical specifications

FFTlightweight’s product range Other products in the Lightweight range

FFTlightweight Clamp

Electromechanical lightweight clamp

Our lightweight clamp features component recognition via the FFT servo drive, thereby ensuring the safe and repeatable clamping, holding and positioning of workpieces.

FFTlighweight FibreTEC 3D

Customisable wound carbon fibre structures

FibreTEC combines low weight with high payload. CFRP components made from filament winding are topology-optimised and robot-assisted mouldable – ideal for structural components, assembly aids and handling grippers.

FFTlightweight Integral

Carbon fibre coating for grippers

The hybrid carbon frame with carbon fibre coating for lightweight grippers. Conventional clamping technology, freely configurable connections and robot-compatible design. Up to 57% lighter and low vibration.

FFTlightweight FibreTEC profiles

Wrapped carbon fibre connections

FibreTEC profiles are a modular system. The individual elements are connected using precision-manufactured aluminium plates. The profiles themselves are made of wound CFRP with integrated aluminium deflection points.

FFTlightweight FibreTEC H-Frame

H-shaped base frame for robot flange plates

The innovative H-shaped base frame is available in 4 different versions. They differ in size, hole patterns (e.g. Ø 125 mm, Ø 160 mm, Ø 200 mm or B8 plates) and optional centring ring and can be flexibly adapted to individual customer specifications.

FFTlightweight FibreTEC Connector

Composite pieces between profiles

The FFTlightweight FibreTEC Connectors are available in different versions and enable the stable connection of two/three FibreTEC profiles. Ideal for frame elements and modular assemblies in the modular system.

FFTlightweight FibreTEC Mounting

Versatile mounting options for FibreTEC modular system

Whether mounting or end mounting, these elements ensure flexible integration of additional assemblies and stable connections in frame structures. They expand the modular system and ensure efficient assembly in a wide range of applications.

FFT lightweight FibreTEC Spacer

Spacer for FibreTEC modular system

The FFTlightweight FibreTEC spacers serve as precise spacers between the FibreTEC profiles and FibreTEC connectors or brackets. With thicknesses of 3 to 40 mm, they enable defined spacing and flexible design solutions.

FFTlightweight FibreTEC Brakets

Corner joints for FibreTEC modular system

FibreTEC brackets offer resilient corner connections for modular profiles. High-strength aluminium plates ensure high stability and easy integration into the FibreTEC modular system.
