CNC Workholding Solutions

UNILOCK Modular Workholding System

Our multi-axis workholding products are designed to provide flexibility and functionality for 5-axis machining and 5-sided machining via multiple-part transfers. We also offer solutions for machines with retrofit 4th/5th axis tables. BIG DAISHOWA can help you to maximize the benefits of your machine design through efficient workholding. These CNC workholding fixtures locate and stabilize the workpieces without obstructing access to the top and sides of the part. They also allow a clamped workpiece to be flipped into new orientations for subsequent machining operations without unclamping it from the workholding.

Pre-Assembled Chucks

Base stations with the new ERGO 138 chuck rather than the ESM 138, saving 11mm of height.

Clamping Knobs, Balls and Pallets

UNILOCK clamping knobs and pallets work together to provide superior workholding capability.

Multi-Axis Systems

Enhance your machining capabilities with UNILOCK Multi-Axis Systems. Elevate precision work with integrated clamping solutions for multi-axis machining.

Chain Clamping

Chain clamping systems offer flexibility to hold workpieces of various shapes and sizes. The chain clamping system uses a series of interconnected chains with adjustable links and tensioning mechanisms to secure the workpiece firmly in place during machining.

Stabilizer System

BIG DAISHOWA’s zero-point, UNILOCK stabilizer system can easily adjust to any new part — making machining more efficient and cost-effective.

Accessories & Spare Parts

Frequently Asked Questions

How are manufacturers benefiting from zero-point workholding systems?

Manufacturers who have implemented the system primarily use a zero-point workholding as a quick way to securely and precisely load, unload and locate workpieces on a machine table. It’s proven especially for part access and automated 5-axis machining. The versatile workholding system has also been effectively used in grinding, turning, welding, EDM, inspection and assembly.

How do I choose the right workholding device?

Every job or situation will be a little different, but choosing the correct workholding device or system for the work you do should be guided by four factors:

Part size
Part shape and material condition
Production and mix levels
Level of operator interaction

What are the main functions of a workholding device?

Workholding is used to locate and stabilize a workpiece or part on a table so that it can be machined or inspected.
