Norgren Adaptix™ Workholding
Level Up Your Workholding Game
Introducing the Adaptix™ by Norgren, a revolutionary workholding innovation that's transforming the way you hold and grip your various part profiles throughout machining and assembly processes. The Adaptix™ easily forms to a wide variety of part profiles, provides up to 7,000 lbs. of max clamping force to hold your workpiece steady and will radically reduce the time and cost involved in the design and development of your soft jaws or fixturing.
Benefits
- 0.001 repeatability to facilitate accurate production runs
- Reduced setup time between parts, resulting in increased machine time
- Eliminate up to 70% of all soft jaw creation and usage
- Save on designing, producing and storing traditional soft jaws
