Machining Center Workholding and Fixture Adjustment

Modern CNC machining centers must accommodate a wide range of part sizes and geometries, often within a single setup. Efficient, precise workholding is critical for maintaining tight tolerances, repeatability, and throughput. Fixture adjustment mechanisms must allow quick repositioning of clamps, vises, and supports with minimal operator intervention.
