KEEP SPINDLES TURNING QUICK-CHANGE FIVE-AXIS WORKHOLDING SYSTEMS
Reducing setup time, giving the spindle clearance and making job changes simple and accurate are focus of fi ve-axis workholding systems

ith fi ve-axis machines continuing to grow in popularity, given their more acces- sible prices and programming software, demand has also grown for modular workholding systems specifi cally built for these machines that can be changed out
quickly and deliver reliable, accurate fi xturing job after job. Several leading workholding providers have developed all new
fi ve-axis workholding systems that deliver just that. While Jergens, Inc. (Cleveland, OH) has offered its popular Fixture Pro 5-Axis Workholding solution since 2010, Carr-Lane launched a competing system, the CL5, at the Canadian Manu- facturing Technology Show in Toronto last fall. And several other workholding providers say they offer modular systems that are just as fast, accurate and reliable as systems built specifi cally for fi ve-axis machines.
