Innovative Workholding for Advanced Manufacturing
AUTOGRIP focuses on developing diversified and innovative workholding solutions to meet the needs of automated production. Recently, in cooperation with GOODWAY , we provided a machining solution for a dual-valve pipe fitting manufacturer in Bulgaria, aiming to enhance machining efficiency and dimensional accuracy.
The IS-254 Automatic Indexing Chuck was the key workholding component enabling this solution.
Technical Advantages of IS-254 Automatic Indexing Chuck
- High-Speed Indexing: Performs fast 45° / 90° indexing operations while the spindle is running, enabling smooth and seamless multi-station switching.
- Seamless Integration: Works perfectly with the GOODWAY GA-2800 robotic arm for fully automated loading and unloading.
- Enhanced Productivity: Reduces manpower dependency and significantly improves production efficiency and process stability.
- High-Precision Manufacturing: Ensures consistent accuracy in every production step, meeting the demands of advanced manufacturing.
Application Results
By combining the IS-254 Automatic Indexing Chuck with the GA-2800 robotic arm, the customer achieved:
- Automated loading/unloading → reduced cycle time and operator dependency
- Multi-station indexing → eliminated additional fixture changes and reduced downtime
- Stable and repeatable clamping → improved overall machining precision and productivity
This application demonstrates how the IS-254 can support multi-axis machining, robotic handling,
and automated production lines, helping manufacturers achieve higher throughput and reliability.
