Hydraulic Workholding

Most of our hydraulic fixtures operate between 2,500 and 5,000 psi. We like to use industry standard clamps, locators and fittings. But, as is the case for many custom fixtures, using standard components isn't always an option. Arrow engineers have developed innovative methods to couple hydraulic fixtures to the machine tool and to locate and clamp inside holes.

We prefer to manifold our fixtures, clamps and locators. Manifold mounted fixtures are more durable and easier for operators to clean. There are no steel tubes for chips to wrap in, parts to fall on, or errant cutters to cut. A severed steel tube would result in an immediate loss of hydraulic pressure exposing the operator to injury.

The benefits of hydraulic clamping fixtures: speed and consistency.
