Description
Advancements in the fields of mechanization and automation have led to large strides forward for the entire manufacturing industry. Various products, ranging in size from cars to small circuit components, are made through automated procedures in manufacturing facilities. These processes help improve efficiency, save on labor costs, and reduce the occurrences of defective products, improving company growth and product quality.
A common feature of automated processes is the need for the item being worked on to be held firmly in place while work is being done on it—“workholding.” Workholders help improve the economy of production by creating smooth operational processes and helping to facilitate quick transitions from one work station to another. This simplifies and streamlines the entire mounting parts operation.
Manufacturing workholders use many different methods to hold the parts securely, including hydraulic, electric, pneumatic, and mechanical ho
