Workholding – the often overlooked, but vital component of production success.

When it comes to production failure, it’s often easier for manufacturers to find problems with tooling and machining than with workholding. Largely because they are the visible elements, making a direct impact on the cut. A blunted edge or a machine error code is a more visual clue to act upon than a ‘hidden’ workholding issue like a slightly loose clamp or a vibration.
