Since 1996, when TEDA introduced on the market the first pneumatic tool quick change system, the evolution of this accessory, vital for the press brake productivity, never stopped.
Starting from a clamping system characterized by frontal insertion and the need to modify the tool junction tag (model 13101), TEDA moved on to a clamping system with standard tool and lateral insertion (model 12131). Two are the main reasons for this system:
- to give the customer the possibility to make the most of the tools in his workshop
- if new tools are needed, the standard ones are less expensive and easily available.
The clamping system with lateral insertion guarantees saving of time and effort, but certainly not as much as the frontal insertion one does. Despite this new system the innovation was not complete and Teda kept studying and researching.
Today we can say we’ve reached the squaring of the circle with the new system 13131 SPEED GRIP: frontal insertion, standard tools no modification necessary, dimensions reduced to a minimum, possibility to assemble the tool on the back of the clamping unit, automatic tools lifting and clamping, tools self alignment, safe and steady clamping even of the smaller sectioned tools, possibility to clamp standard tools with wide tolerances on the tools junction tag, no connection pipes between one clamping unit and the other (for the STAR version) .
Compared to a manual clamping system, with SPEED GRIP you save 80% of the changing time and as you well know…time is money!
Furthermore the careful planning of the production cycles allowed us to reach a substantial reduction in costs, so that nowadays TEDA clamping systems are affordable to anyone who wants (big firm or small artisan), with a minimum investment, to get maximum flexibility from his press brakes, either new or already in use.
SPEED GRIP is available with three basic models:
- 13131-FLEX – air transmission by flexible plastic pipes located in protected areas
- 13131 – air transmission by telescopic manifold
- 13131-STAR – air transmission using the innovative STAR SYSTEM (TEDA patent).
