Clamp-style Universal Brackets (CUB)
Brett B. Truett, Engineering Manager for SoftNoze, commented that "the CUB family of brackets was developed to offer photoelectric and ultrasonic sensor users the options they need; a standard readily-available mount with versatility and strength." SoftNoze Sales Manager, Scott Truett added "the rapid growth of the photoelectric sensor segment was key to our decision to develop this line of universal mounts."
The HalfKlamp Set is the core component of the CUB, working double duty to offer amazing versatility. "Essentially two matching, shell-shaped, zinc die cast components are the heart of the CUB" explained Brett Truett, "they either clamp onto a 3/8" socket head cap screw on 'Bolt-on' models, or they slide along a customer supplied 1/2" diameter rod on 'Rod-Mount' models." Brett Truett goes on to say, "While these "shells" clamp-down on the screw head or rod, their outer edges grasp and expand to secure the sensor bracket." This dual tightening is done via a single 5/32nd hex-head screw. Repositioning for aiming adjustments, in any direction, is done quickly with a 5/32nd hex wrench.
