With the revision of the engineering tool, Item provides optimal support for designers in machine and equipment construction. Adjustments and changes can now be implemented even faster. The user can select several profiles and simultaneously bring them to a specified size. This enables, for example, the adjustment of all vertical and horizontal struts of a shelf in one step. The user has visual control over the changes made. In addition, the design software now offers a measurement of the distance between two profiles. The required dimensions can be maintained by specifying the clear width.

2. Clamp securely

The ongoing trend towards complete machining of a wide variety of workpieces in one to as few clampings as possible poses great challenges especially for clamping raw parts or semi-finished products. Without machining or process-safe clamping of the raw parts or semi-finished products, neither the machines nor the tools can develop their existing performance potential.

For Gressel, this is reason enough to take on the challenges in practice and to offer users optimal system-independent clamping solutions with system-compatible "grip jaws". As a result, the standard range of “grip jaws” has been specifically expanded, with which raw parts or semi-finished products or workpieces made of aluminum materials, plastics, unhardened steels (up to HRC 22) and hardened tool steels (up to HRC 58) can be clamped.

3. Bar lock for rotary latch

The use of a single-point locking system with a rotary bolt is often not sufficient in areas of application in which secure, yet simple and flexible locking plays an important role. Dirak offers a solution: the bar lock for rotary bolts as an extension to a multi-point locking system for easy and secure locking in just one operation. It should be easy and simple to operate and is suitable for all standard rotary bolt housings with a length of 18 mm. It can be snapped onto the housing without tools. In addition, according to the company, it offers high locking comfort and strength in just one operation.
