Stable, robust and precise
The high clamping force of this system enables its use for heavy-duty machining. With stable, robust modules, even large plates and blocks weighing up to several thousand kilograms can be clamped on the base rails.

The base rail
Thanks to a 2-mm step on the base rail, clamping and stop modules can be quickly and precisely positioned. The rail allows for backlash-free pairing, while clamping forces are robustly absorbed and securely anchored by an expanding wedge. Additional modules can simply be installed between the existing clamping units.
The modules
The aptoCLAMP system includes 20 modular pull down and linear clamping modules. Each module can be used as a stop module (except 5-axis modules), enabling high workholding density and multiple workholding.
Quick and easy, despite high clamping force
To position the clamping modules, the aptoCLAMP system uses a 2-mm serration. In addition to a crosswise serration, there is an additional lengthwise serration to lock the anchor system, providing very high stability and rigidity even during heavy-duty machining.
The clamping modules rest on the precisely ground contact surface, ensuring that the clamping module remains extremely force-locked and precisely fixed to the base rail. Nevertheless, released clamping modules can be freely moved along the base rail. The modules can be easily lifted up for replacement or installed from the top without the need to retract them from or into the rail.
