Abstract: The platen of a press which is provided with multiple longitudinally running T-slots for clamping a tool such as a die or mold to the platen has a frame secured to it which supports and guides a travelling clamp so that the travelling clamp can be moved laterally to serve any one of several T-slots in the platen. In one embodiment, a face drive unit has its motor fixed relative to the frame so as to drive the travelling clamp laterally. In another embodiment, the frame supports multiple travelling clamps and each clamp is provided with its own lateral drive along a frame which extends along the face of the press slide and is common to the travelling clamps. Brake cylinders maybe provided for fixing the travelling clamp to the frame during press operation.

Abstract: A travelling clamp unit of the type for extending and retracting a T-head clamping cylinder into and out of a T-slot of a press has a main frame which supports clamping cylinder drive means and the clamping cylinder when it is in a parked position in which it is retracted from the T-slot of the press. The main frame has rails which support the clamping cylinder T-head in the parked position and which are removable from the main frame so that the T-head can be dropped out of the bottom end of the main frame for removing the clamping cylinder from the travelling clamp unit.
