Secure and precise workholding for metalworking productivity
Workholding devices such as workpiece clamps and chuck systems provide absolute positional stability and vibration damping during milling, turning, drilling and grinding, ensuring parts remain free of play under high CNC cutting and feed forces. By transferring clamping loads into the machine table or spindle without deforming the component, a well engineered workholding solution improves machining accuracy, surface finish and process reliability while reducing set-up times. Modular systems from machine vices and chucks to zero-point systems and specialised fixtures enable fast changeovers and support both serial and single-part production, delivering consistent clamping force, repeatability and enhanced throughput.
