Posts and Clamps for Automation and Motion Control Machinery

By Miles Budimir | February 22, 2010

Schaumburg, IL — Misumi USA, Inc. has introduced a series of new products to its comprehensive lines of Posts, Stands and Clamps.

The new additions, which can be configured to suit a variety of applications, are designed to make it faster and easier to securely mount devices, such as CCD cameras and photoelectric sensors, used by machine designers and builders of automated assembly, inspection and testing systems.

Misumi-Posts-and-Clamps

Features and functionality of the new Misumi components include:

–>Posts With Scale (Part Number GSSTN) – These stand posts are constructed of 304 Stainless Steel. Laser metric scale markings enable precise positioning of mounted devices, which with the help of a Misumi Strut Clamp, can be adjusted or re-positioned for quick and easy changeover. Post with Scale diameters range from 10 to 25 mm; while overall length ranges from 100 to 300 mm.

–>Post Clamps for mounting of photoelectric sensors (Part Numbers KSYK, KSYM and KSYS) – These strut clamps are directly mountable to commonly specified photoelectric sensors, with pitches corresponding to sensors supplied by Omron (E3Z), Keyence (PZ), and Sunx (CX). Material choices include 304 Stainless Steel or 1018 Carbon Steel with either Black Oxide or Electroless Nickel Plating.

–>Post Clamps, Turning Prevention Vertical Tapped, for camera mounting – These strut clamps have a turning prevention feature allowing adjustments in Z direction with a simple turn of the knob, while preventing movement in a rotary direction. They are available in three different types: Set (Part Numbers KBYKS, KBYMS, KBYSS); Single Strut Clamp (Part Numbers KBYK, KBYM, KBYS); and Single Post with a flat especially designed for this purpose (Part Number KDYM). Material choices include 304 Stainless Steel or 1018 Carbon Steel with either Black Oxide or Electroless Nickel Plating. Accompanying posts (unscaled) are available in 304 Stainless Steel and in 1018 Carbon Steel with Electroless Nickel Plating.
