The sliding clamp is manually placed in the T-slots and screwed against the die clamping edge. Once the high-pressure spindle has been adjusted to suit the height of the clamping edge, the clamping force is built up by turning the hexagon nut (SW 1) in a clockwise direction. The clamping force achieved, depends on the tightening of the torque selected with the torque wrench.
Mechanical sliding clamps fastened to a machine bed.
