Spend less time preparing fixtures and more time machining. OK-VISE workholding helps you hold more workpieces in one setup, simplify changeovers and adapt fixtures as your production needs change.

Explore your machine environment or see how to manage a changing mix of parts.
PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT
Keep pallet setups ready as jobs and priorities change. Adapt fixtures to different workpieces and make better use of the available pallet space.
PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT
Machine more workpieces between loading stops. Improve tool access and reduce repeated handling to get more productive time from your machine.
Manufacturing challenge
Prepare different jobs using a shared set of fixture components. Adapt existing layouts and make repeat orders easier to set up on stand-alone machines or automated systems.
WHAT BETTER WORKHOLDING ENABLES
The right fixture layout makes a difference every time you load a part, repeat an order or prepare a new job.
Hold several workpieces in one setup to reduce loading interruptions per part and give the operator more time between cycles.
Document component positions and locating points so returning jobs can be rebuilt and checked using clear setup instructions.
Reposition clamps, stops and supports for different workpieces. Reuse suitable components when the next job requires a different layout.
Compact clamps leave more room for workpieces. Arrange the layout to use that space while maintaining tool access and chip clearance.
CUSTOMER STORY — PARKER HANNIFIN MANUFACTURING FINLAND
Parker Hannifin combines tooling blocks, quick-change fixture plates and OK-VISE Multi-Rail modules to handle different workpieces and batch sizes.
Parker Hannifin Manufacturing Finland“The concept allows us to clamp 95% of our product range. Every year, we require around 900 different fixture setups.”
CHOOSING YOUR WORKHOLDING
The right choice depends on your workpieces, batch sizes and how often the setup needs to change.
Build different fixture layouts using components that can be repositioned and reused.
Build a fixture around a specific workpiece or part family.
Both approaches can work together. Use modular components where adjustment and reuse are valuable, and dedicated elements where the workpiece or production process requires them.
