Wedge Style Edge Clamp

The Uniforce clamp from Mitee-Bite, USA, is a wedge style edge clamp that holds two workpieces with equal pressure on each piece. The wedge principal generates an extremely high force relative to the size of the wedge. The Uniforce clamp consists of a steel wedge in an aluminium channel and a screw. As the screw is tightened, the wedge is lowered in the channel, expanding the channel to exert holding force on the side of two workpieces. Load density is typically increased when using this clamp because of its compact design. The workpiece can be flat or round, as the uniqueness of the clamp lends itself to holding most shapes on either a vertical or horizontal position. These are very much useful on machining fixtures to enable multiple workpiece clamping on machining centre or a milling machine. Advantages: minimises tool changes; holds two parts with equilateral clamping action; ideal for clamping flat or round work pieces; and reduces wasted space. The Uniforce clamp is available in seven different sizes,
