The embodiments herein provide a modular rosin press device for use with a base clamp device having a pair or opposing rectangular elements, the modular device having a proximal press assembly, distal press assembly, and proximal block assembly. Each press assembly preferably contains a metallic heating component with a channel sized to accept the rectangular elements of the base clamp device. Each press assembly may also include a heating element, insulating plate, ledges which extend inwardly, and ribs of various designs and orientations.

A modular gripper has a body with a trident section and cylindrical section. A powering assembly is positioned in the cylindrical section. A pair of oppositing jaws is pivotally secured between a center wall and a pair of side wall, respectively, of the trident section. The piston rod moves a cam assembly on the center wall. The cam assembly passes through a body having a trident section and cylindrical section. The trident section comprises a trident structure that includes, at one end, a pair of side walls along with a center wall. The cylindrical section includes a fluid driven powering assembly. A pair of opposing jaw member are pivotally secured to the trident portion about separate pivot pins. A cam assembly is operatively connected to a piston rod of the fluid driven powering assembly. The cam assembly extends laterally outward with respect to a cylinder bore axis to receive a cam bush that engages with a through slot on each of the pair of opposing jaw members. The jaws rotate with respect to one another in response to fluid power in the cylindrical section. A pair of side plate members, each slide plate member has an elongated blind slot that receives an end of the cam assembly, the ends travel in the blind slot. Cam slots in the pair of opposing jaws, via a cam bushing.

A power clamp includes a body. A piston assembly is coupled with the body. The piston assembly includes an actuation mechanism and a movable piston rod. A linkage is housed in the body. The linkage is movably coupled with the piston rod. A plunger is movably coupled with the linkage. A clamp hook is coupled with the plunger for clamping a workpiece. The linkage moves the clamp hook between a release and clamping position.

A clamping device and a machining method. The clamping device comprises: a base; a clamping head comprising a blind rivet and a locking member, the blind rivet comprising a middle column segment and enlarged portions at two ends, and the locking member being connected to an upper end of the blind rivet and defining a clamping opening; a lower cavity connected to the base; an upper cavity comprising an annular peripheral wall and a top wall having a central hole, the top wall being clamped between the two enlarged portions, the middle column segment of the blind rivet movably passing through the central hole, and the upper cavity being connected to the lower cavity in a fit manner; an elastic member located in the peripheral wall and supported between the enlarged portion at a lower portion of the blind rivet and the top wall; and a support cylinder movably fitted in the lower cavity, the support cylinder being supported below the elastic member.

A workpiece clamping assembly includes a fixed member and a movable member and the movable member is associated with a motor for movement toward and away from the fixed member. The motor is in communication with a controller that selectively signals for movement of the movable members in response to an operator's command.

A clamp assembly for a work carrier according to an example of this disclosure includes a base for mounting to the work carrier and including a rotatable spur gear. A slider includes a main housing, a rack with a plurality of teeth along an upper surface of the rack for engaging the spur gear for linear movement of the slider relative to the base, and a clamp extension extending from the main housing to engage an edge of the work object.

A readjustment device and a method for a machine tool process plate-shaped workpieces. The readjustment device contains an upper pressure-exerting device, which at least contains pressure plungers which are oriented at a spacing to one another, and a lower supporting device, which at least has counter-bearings which are arranged at a spacing to one another and which, in a working position, are oriented so as to fix the plate-like workpiece in a clamping manner with respect to the pressure plungers of the upper pressure-exerting device. The pressure plungers of the upper pressure-exerting device can be transferred from a rest position to the working position by a drive device. The pressure plungers of the upper pressure-exerting device are being coupled to one another and are controlled so as to be movable or pivotable together between the rest position and the working position.

A clamping apparatus includes: a support member (19) inserted in a leading-end-side portion of the housing (1) so as to be movable in its axial direction; a resistance giving mechanism (34) configured to give resistance to axial movement of the support member (19); and an engagement maintaining mechanism (26) configured to maintain engagement between a wedge surface (24) of a clamp rod (7) and a locking member (23). When the clamp rod (7) is driven toward a leading end side for unclamping action, the clamp rod (7) moves the locking member (23) toward the leading end side via the support member (19) after the locking member (23) moves radially inward.

A holder, a transport device, and a method of manufacturing a container are described. The container comprises a body that extends along an axis and a flange that extends radially to the axis, and the holder comprises one or more fastening elements that are configured to engage one or more of a top surface, a bottom surface, or a peripheral surface of the flange.
