Clamps Rated for Hot-Forming Applications
PHD, Inc., Fort Wayne, IN, a manufacturer of industrial automation equip- ment, has introduced new high-temperature options for its Series GRM clamps, designed for use
in hot-forming appli-
cations. The GRM
clamps with the
G11 option include
replacement of
urethane-based
components with
all metal components; high-temperature-resistant
seals and lubricant rated to 392
deg. F; and ceramic-coated tips that minimize thermal transfer from the heat source to the clamp.
The new clamps are designed specifically for han-
dling sheetmetal in stamping/fabricating press appli-
cations. The clamps are available in three sizes, 13 jaw styles and numerous jaw openings to fit a range of applications.

Double-Edge V Folding and Rectangular Groove Router Bits for Shaping Composite Panels
Amana Tool, Farmingdale, NY, a manufacturer of industrial-quality carbide-tipped, solid carbide and replacement carbide cutting tools, has developed double-edge folding V and rectan- gular-groove router bits. The panel-shaping collection features four profiles specially designed to cut aluminum/plastic sandwich materials such as Alucobond and Dibond.
The double-edged folding V and rectangular- groove router bits find use in sign-making applications and to create cladding for office buildings, hospitals, airports and hotels, among other locations. The design enables removing the aluminum cover and part of the polyethyl- ene core to allow folding the material while main- taining its structural integrity. The router bits include 90-, 108- and 135-deg. profiles, as well as a rectangular-profile bit for creating folds in
In 1964, LSP introduced the original PresSpray, introducing airless, automatic spraying of die lubricants. Today, presses are faster and more high tech, tolerances are tighter, and lubricants better. The PresSpray-II has evolved to meet the demands of twenty first century stamping.
