Workholding devices are tools used in manufacturing and machining to securely hold a workpiece in place during operations like cutting, drilling, or milling. These devices ensure that the workpiece remains stable and accurately positioned, which is crucial for achieving precise results. Common examples of workholding devices include vices, clamps, and jigs. Different types of workholding devices are designed for specific tasks and materials. For instance, a magnetic chuck is ideal for holding ferrous materials, while a vacuum table is perfect for lightweight or delicate items. By using the right workholding device, manufacturers can improve efficiency and enhance the quality of their products.
