This is fantastic! I haven't used pneumatic clamps since I worked in a large millwork shop. These would be great to set up on a homemade horizontal boring machine for drawer production.
Unless this system is permanently set up on a dedicated workbench, it looks to be too much trouble to set up and breakdown. I'll stick with regular clamps.
I figure you are probab;y a salesman, but I have a question for anyone who would like to answer. How good it a pneumatic cylinder for maintaining clamping force while performing operatins, such as hammering, grinding etc. for a shop vise? Thanks for the video I will be checking out those clamps.
Yes. The air regulator controls the speed and precision of air flow. It also maintains pressure at a level that's right for the system, and can reduce pressure coming into the system upstream while maintaining constant flow downstream. Regulators help systems run efficiently by determining the exact air pressure, so that energy isn't wasted by using too much air. Too high pressure could risk damaging the machine, and too little can mean that the machine isn't receiving enough output and wouldn't clamp securely. The air filter cleans the air that travels from the compressor. The filter scrubs, strains, and traps solid particles, like dust, dirt, rust, and separates liquids, such as water and oil, within the compressed air. Compressed air systems must be kept clean and dry to ensure continued reliability.
The pneumatic clamping system is designed primarily for securing and releasing workpieces quickly, making it great for repetitive machining operations. It's not designed to provide the kind of clamping pressure typically needed for glue-ups.
