 Applications in automotive industry

CyTab for bodyframing

Hydromechanical clamping system STP090

• 100% failsafe
• High clamping force: 12 kN
• Pneumatically operated; pressure: 6-12 bar
• Positively locked in clamped position
• Holding force: 40 kN
• Clamping stroke: 9 mm
• Repeatability: 0,001 mm

The pneumatic execution of the clamping system CyTab plays a central

role in the automotive industry in automatic welding and assembly lines.
Considerable vehicle manufacturers use these systems for years with great
success to support and guarantee reliable, flexible and cost saving produc-
tion.

Typical application area ist the bodyframing:

The geometry box with pre-built car body is the basic element, to which the
different mounting frames with the lateral car parts are docked precisely and
failsafe.
The actual clamping systems (four or six per frame) are attached to the
outside corners of the box grasping and locking the mounting frames on
each side. In only one functional process the flanges are centered, drawn in
and positively locked. This guarantees a stable and reproducible operational
process with very low maintenance effort.
CyTab “Scope“ for vertical frame docking

Hydromechanical clamping system STP090 “Scope“ with

additional grasping stroke

Function of the clamping system “Scope“ version

Basically the clamping process is the same as the standard CyTab or CyTrac
systems.
Prior to that, the “scope“ housing executes an additional stroke to grasp the
external flange/draw bolt over a certain distance.
In short:
• The Scope housing extends and grasps the external draw bolt, that is
in feed position (1).
• The actual clamping process follows by pressurising the clamping
chamber (2).
• In final position, the flange is locked positively (3).
