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.
Hold Steady. Adjust Precisely. Machine with Confidence.
Helix Linear Technologies supplies compact linear stages, lead screws, and actuators specifically designed for fixture positioning and workholding adjustment in machining environments. Our motion components deliver smooth, controlled travel to fine-tune fixture locations to help machinists reduce setup time and avoid costly misalignment errors.
Built to withstand coolant exposure, chips, and vibration, Helix systems support manual, semi-automated, or fully automated fixture adjustment strategies in high-mix, high-precision machining cells.
Key Benefits:
- Precision adjustment of clamps and supports for flexible fixturing
- Repeatable motion ensures consistent part location across runs
- Rugged designs tolerate shop-floor conditions and metal debris
- Custom travel lengths and mounting options for integration with CNC tables
Helix delivers the motion that makes setup faster and machining more accurate to empower smarter, more adaptive manufacturing cells.
