ROEMHELD North America’s Power Workholding Components offer immediate advantages over manual workholders.

Automation and Increased Control

Power-operated elements provide precise control and a broad range of operations within a workholding system. Once adjusted, each product consistently clamps or holds, and powered work supports automatically adapt to minor workpiece irregularities. Furthermore, power workholding systems can operate multiple clamps and devices sequentially to accomplish complex fixturing tasks.

Prioritizing Speed and Safety

Power Workholding Components significantly reduce loading times, making them especially effective for high-volume runs. While initial costs may be higher than with mechanical workholding, self-contained hydraulic workholding products are more efficient, requiring fewer clamps and personnel to operate them. By replacing repetitive manual clamping, power workholders reduce operator fatigue and enable remote control of inaccessible fixturing. Most systems also feature backup controls for added safety in case of power failure.

Consistency through Uniform Clamping Force

With power workholders controlled by a power source, the operator's strength and fatigue have no impact on clamping force, which remains constant once set. Adjustments for specific conditions can be easily made as needed, depending on when more or less force is necessary for the setup.

Simplified Operation

Reduced physical labor in clamping and unclamping allows operators to manage more machines and increase production. This also allows for loading more workpieces onto fixtures per production cycle, extending individual steps and requiring less attention from the operator. Many types of power workholding can be executed by less-skilled workers.

N/C Compatibility

Versatile power workholding eliminates the need for design specialists, as the same tool designer can design both the workholder and clamping system. ROEMHELD North America components, with their compact size, are easy to locate, and standard fittings ensure easy connection and positive sealing.

Compactness Leading to Increase Productivity

Power components from ROEMHELD North America are designed to fit seamlessly on fixtures and can provide high clamping forces even at fluid pressures up to 7500 psi. Smaller power clamps often allow for closer positioning on fixtures, therefore allowing more workpieces to be loaded. This increases productivity through more parts per cycle.
