Dillon Manufacturing’s Claw Jaws have an optimized contour which provides a secure grip on the workpiece, and the jaws weight, center of gravity and cutting forces combine to minimize jaw clamping force loss.
Workholding solutions increase throughput which generates uptime because they greatly reduce setup and changeover times. Operators can change workpieces in a highly repeatable manner which significantly increases the quality of the finished part. The primary function of streamlining production is to develop a workholding solution that optimizes the machining of multiple parts at once while maintaining tight tolerances. Below you will find a cross-section of companies that will be showcasing their approach to workholding systems at IMTS from Sept. 12–17 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Forming tools are expensive, often made from carbide and tool steel.
