Secure positioning and faster assembly for accurate production
Clamping and assembly aids are essential tools in industrial fixture construction, welding and both manual and automated assembly. Also referred to as clamping aids, assembly fixtures or positioning aids, this product group temporarily fixes individual parts or complex assemblies in a form-stable, non-slip and precisely positioned manner before final joining operations such as bolting, riveting, welding or bonding.
How they work where precision matters
These aids use a mix of simple mechanics and modular design to guarantee repeatable results in demanding shop situations. Typical elements such as modular clamping angles, positioning pins, quick clamps, spring-loaded pressure pieces and magnetic fixing aids ensure that required dimensional and positional tolerances are met reliably, even during high-throughput production. The ergonomic design of many fixtures frees both hands of the operator, enabling safer, faster joining and reducing the need for manual support.
