Innovative Workholding for Turning and Milling

HWR Workholding
HWR Workholding USA’s INOZet pendulum bridges allow manufacturers to double the number of jaws on their existing chucks to distribute clamping force more evenly and eliminate part deformation.

HWR WORKHOLDING USA will bring its full line of innovative workholding products to IMTS 2024, exhibiting for the first time at booth 431579. HWR will be highlighting new and existing solutions for both turning and milling applications, and will present a RoboJob automation cell demonstrating the ease with which HWR products facilitate process automation.

For milling applications, HWR will be showcasing its SolidLine family of zero-point workholding products. The newest of these include SolidGrip MAXX and SolidBolt FLEXX, both released in 2024. SolidGrip MAXX allows users to quickly convert two standard vises into a single large-capacity vise with a maximum clamping range of 800 mm (31.5 in.), offering a highly secure, cost-effective solution for large-part manufacturers.

Tailored to specific machine makes and models, SolidBolt FLEXX simplifies and streamlines integration of zero-point workholding systems by allowing a zero-point plate to be installed directly to a machine’s table or pallet. It enables fast and easy implementation of vises, risers, chucks, pyramids and other workholding components. SolidBolt FLEXX is currently available for the Makino DA300P, Matsuura MAM72 Series, Mazak Variaxis i-300 AWC and YASDA PX30i.

Visitors to HWR’s booth will also see the SolidPoint mechanical zero-point technology, SolidClick 5-axis centering vise for contour clamping, SolidGrip centering vise, SolidStamp stamping unit and SolidClean chip fan.

On the turning side, visitors will have the opportunity to see the company’s unique INOLine clamping system. This includes INOFlex 4-jaw chucks that use a unique design that allows each set of jaws to operate independently to achieve secure clamping of round, rectangular and asymmetrical parts.

Also on display will be the INOZet pendulum bridges, which empower manufacturers to double the number of jaws on their existing chucks to more evenly distribute clamping force and eliminate part deformation.

Attendees will also see INOTop hybrid clamping jaws, which use external pressure to center delicate parts and then clamp them internally to avoid damaging them.
