How Better Workholding Cuts Hidden Costs and Boosts Spindle Uptime
The bedrock of success How Better Workholding Cuts Hidden Costs and Boosts Spindle Uptime. By Austin Heisick In many machining environments, workholding is still evaluated using narrow criteria: can the workholding securely hold the part, and how much does it cost? While ensuring adequate clamping force is critical, this perspective overlooks the broader role workholding plays in CNC machining.
The Bedrock of Precision Success
The workholding basics for CNC machining. By Erez Speiser The best CNC machines and cutting tools are only as effective as the workholding system used to secure a workpiece to the table during the machining process. The foundation of successful precision machining begins with the selection of the proper workholding system for the workpiece and machining operation at hand.
Train and Retain
Regardless of the industry being served, effective worker training is critical to a part manufacturer’s success. Horst Engineering’s core focus is producing aerospace and defense parts, but states that precision machined components are just as essential to many high technology industries, including power generation.

PRAB promotes testing programs for scrap processing, fluid recycling decisions
According to the company, testing metal chips, turnings, swarf, coolants and process fluids under application-specific conditions can provide empirical data to guide equipment selection, scrap value improvement, volume-handling capacity and projected return on investment. PRAB says this approach can help manufacturers address rising disposal costs and environmental requirements, and recover more value from waste streams.
GPT gearhead family
The GPT gearhead family from Faulhaber can be flexibly combined with various motors from the standard range, such as motors from the flat BXT brushless family or the brushless DC drives from the microdrive experts. During development, they were specifically designed to work with the DC drives of the GXR/SXR gearhead family, which allows for perfectly matched combinations of encoders, drives and gearheads.
Sunnen Products, TIBO Tiefbohrtechnik form alliance to expand deep hole machining
Sunnen Products Company, a supplier of precision honing and bore finishing technologies, and TIBO Tiefbohrtechnik GmbH, a specialist in deep hole drilling machines and systems, have entered into a strategic alliance to expand their global capabilities in deep hole machining solutions.
Reversible hard jaws for ID and OD workholding
Reversible hard jaws from Dillon Manufacturing are suitable for ID and OD workholding, so they can decrease the time and cost of tool set-ups, yet still accurately grip and locate work pieces. Designed to hold a specific range of part sizes, these jaws are usually used for first operation workholding.
Doosan Robotics unveils AI palletizing solution
Doosan Robotics new AI-powered palletizing solution, PalletizHD+, brings the robot, AI, and application controls together in one integrated environment to make palletizing faster, smarter, and easier for manufacturers to deploy and operate. The system, which debuted at Automate 2026, is built on PalletizOS, Doosan Robotics’ proprietary palletizing operating system and "removes the complexity traditionally associated with palletizing automation," according to the company.
