4.1.3 Manual clamps for panel clamping
Fig. 16: Clamped manual clamp
The panels are fastened on the machine with the manual clamp. The fas-
tening applies the machining forces to the machine frame. A steel bracket
(with rubberised clip) is placed and clamped on the workpiece with an ergo-
nomically formed plastic lever. Support bolts or brushes are used as thrust
bearing for the clamping force. Ideally, they should be positioned directly op-
posite or at least near the applied force.

The actuator of the pneumatic clamping strip is located at the left-hand side
next to the tool magazine. This clamping strip clamps the workpiece lower
edge fatigue-free and protected for the machine operator. The push-button is
illuminated and marked with pictograms.
