KONTEC KSC3 Self-Centering Vise
A self-centering vise with high clamping force and precision for fast, reliable part positioning.
Schunk Workholding System
Precision Workholding, Expertly Integrated
Even the most advanced machine can underperform if the workholding isn't up to par. Common workholding issues often lead to wasted time, poor quality, and frustration on the shop floor.
| Key Features | |
| Reduce Setup Times | Constant re-indication and change outs of fixtures between jobs are a key leader in lost production time |
| Address Inconsistent Part Quality | Vibration, chatter, and poor clamping cause poor surface finish, dimensional errors, and increased scrap rates |
| Avoid Part Damage | Excessive clamping pressure causing damage, imperfections, and warping in finished parts |
| Flexible | One-size-fits-all is hard to find in workholding fixturing, leading to frequent changeovers and high tooling costs |

Why Hennig
Engineered for Your Industry
Machining Automation
CNC shops keep pallets moving and machines cutting nights, weekends, and short-staffed shifts with Hennig’s WorkFlow automated pallet delivery system.
CNC Machine Tool
Even the best CNC machines are only as good as their peripheral equipment. If systems aren’t built to work together, jams, crashes, and tolerance errors will cause downtime and scrap costs.
