Additional functions are ensured through add-on boxes containing logical valve packages.
The Power, Mega and Kombi lines are driven by an S 16 60 booster to which a D-box has been added, shown to the left on the photo.
Additionally a return speed regulator shown on the hydraulic line at the outlet of the booster ensures perfect working of the unit.
Optionally, an O-box, shown to the right on the photo, renders the unit totally independent on how the trigger or foot pedal is activated and released and ensures a totally uniform clinching result at the shortest possible cycle time. The O-box can be fitted to double-stroke as well as single-stroke boosters. This option can easily be retrofitted in the field to existing boosters without this functionality.
This is particularly interesting, as the training time for unskilled operators is virtually zero.
The HSB, High Speed Booster option features hydraulic commutation between the phases of the double-stroke clinching technology, which reduces the cycle time to below 1 second.
