Why conventional clamping concepts are no longer sufficient.
Part-specific. Inflexible. Expensive.
Traditional clamping devices are part-specific — each new geometry requires a new fixture.
Grid-based systems are inflexible for freeform geometries.
High setup times for variant changes — typically 30 to 60 minutes per changeover.
For large composite components (wing shells, fuselage segments), universal solutions are scarce.
Storage space, logistics, and capital commitment increase with the number of variants.
Modular. Freely positionable. Universal.
Freely positionable modules without a fixed grid — actuators are placed where the component needs them.
Rotatable suction cups with controlled servo drives adapt to any contour.
Adaptation to any component geometry in minutes instead of hours.
One system for dozens of different components — one investment, multiple applications.
Fully compatible with existing hard tools — hybrid operation possible.
