WHAT
IT DOES:
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
UNICLAMP™
ELIMINATES THE GAP BETWEEN THE PLATE AND THE STIFFENER!
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This
conventional setup can take up to two hours to
complete, The process including welding lugs, dogs
and bridges in place - positioning awkward and heavy
equipment - then removing these setups and cleaning
up the attachment points. |
|
The
UNICLAMP™ takes less than 30 seconds to
set up - increasing productivity, safety and quality. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW
IT WORKS:
|
|
The
simple connection of a standard plant-supplied compressed air
line and the flick of a switch allows the clamp’s
built-in, high speed generator to create a powerful vacuum,
permitting the vacuum pads to immediately attach them-
selves directly to the work surface. The clamp manual screw
or hydraulic ram can then be operated to instantly secure
the proper alignment of parts. UNICLAMPS™ will meet your
clamping requirements without the tedious, time
consuming and sometimes dangerous paraphernalia associated with
traditional methods of fabrication assembly
techniques. NO MORE LUGS DOGS, BRIDGES, WEDGES, CHAINS, JACKS,
C-CLAMPS, TACK WELDS,
OR REGRINDING REQUIRED! |
|
|
UNICLAMPS™
Are Powered by Compressed Air and Leave No Marks!
NOTE: UNICLAMPS™ ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR LIFTING PURPOSES.

UNIVAC®
Vacuum Lifters are designed for efficient, one-person operation
in lifts of semi-porous and non-porous
material. Unlike magnets or edge grabs, vacuum units will not
mark or scratch material surfaces or edges. Additionally,
vacuum lifters can easily lift nonferrous metals and thin sheets
(under 1/4"). |
|
|
|
| Benefits
your company will receive with UNIVAC® Vacuum Lifters: |
•
Increase productivity, reducing cost.
• One person operation.
• Eliminate material damage.
• Precision handling made easier. |
|
•
Versatile handling of most materials.
• Improve storage space.
• Provide a low maintenance lifter.
• Durable for long lasting service. |
|
|
|
| ALL
UNIVAC® Lifters Have: |
•
Registered nameplates as required by ASME.
• Rated capacities and product safety labels. |
|
|
|
UNIVAC®
Vacuum Lifters adhere to the highest quality standards in
the industry and all units conform to ASME
standards. All UNIVAC® Vacuum Lifters are designed with
a 2 to 1 vacuum safety factor. |

| Industry
Standard |
The
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has developed
standards that apply specifically to these
types of devices. ASME B30.20 provides detailed information
on the classifications, marking, construction, installation,
inspection, testing maintenance and operation of below the hook
lifting devices. ASME BTH-1 provides detailed
information on the design criteria of below the hook lifting
devices. These standards serve as a guide to government
authorities, manufactures, purchasers and users of lifting devices.

THE
LIGHTWEIGHTS...
|
|
|
|
|
WHD-1
and WHD-2 models are constructed of a high-strength aluminum
bringing lightweight portability to
workpiece positioning and clamping. |
|
|
|
|
The
UNICLAMPS™ have proved to be invaluable in transportation
industry applications. These easy to position
clamps are ideally suited for sheet and light plate fabrication.
Lightweight UNICLAMPS™ are used to secure “skin”
materials to ribbed structures at aircraft, aerospace, bus,
trailer, and truck manufacturing facilities. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
The
WHD-1 and WHD-2 UNICLAMPS™ feature capacities
up to 1,200 lbs with clamp weights not exceeding 16 lbs!
Features include round or rectangular vacuum pads, varying
headframe widths, and varying height under the ram to suit
special requirements. |

THE
MIDDLEWEIGHTS...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like
their smaller counterparts, the UNICLAMP™
models WHD-18, WHD-24, WHD-32 and WHD-40
are constructed of high-strength aluminum affording these
clamps the identical advantage of reduced weight for
heavier duty positioning and clamping requirements. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
clamp models are used extensively in aircraft, ship
building, bridge construction, tank manufacturing and the
steel fabrication industry. They excel whenever larger
assemblies need to be drawn into alignment or held in
position for a welding process. |
