Schunk Workholding Solutions

Over 50 years of clamping technology experience with 11000+ standard components.

Precision Workholding, Expertly Integrated

Even the most advanced machine can underperform if the workholding isn't up to par. Common workholding issues often lead to wasted time, poor quality, and frustration on the shop floor.

  • Reduce Setup Times | Constant re-indication and change outs of fixtures between jobs are a key leader in lost production time
  • Address Inconsistent Part Quality | Vibration, chatter, and poor clamping cause poor surface finish, dimensional errors, and increased scrap rates
  • Avoid Part Damage | Excessive clamping pressure causing damage, imperfections, and warping in finished parts
  • Flexibility | One-size-fits-all is hard to find in workholding fixturing, leading to frequent changeovers and high tooling costs
