Homewood, IL...Brudi Bolzoni Auramo has announced the introduction of the ETX-G3S Intelligent Carton Clamp that utilizes advanced technology to reduce product damage during load handling. The new ETX-G3S has been designed for industries where variations in clamping pressure can produce significant loss claims. The ETX-G3S uses a microprocessor-controlled system to automatically adjust clamping force. These parameters are pre-determined by the end-user based upon product and load guidelines. The electronics are interlinked with BBA's advanced hydraulic technology to ensure effective and accurate clamp pressure control. Load configuration data is collected on a real-time basis through three different sensor sets: opening sensors to determine the number of load units wide, slip sensors to decide the number of units deep and infrared sensors to assess the number of units high. Using these data, the ETX control unit instantly directs the proportional valve to adjust the hydraulic pressure in the clamping cylinder to fit the load.
