Thame Workholding began its life specialising in the manufacture of soft jaws, and new ranges and sizes of both soft and hard jaws are among the many new products appearing on the company's stand at MACH 2010. Other areas of expertise for the Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire company include replacement chucks and special chucks, mandrels, collet chucks and steady rests, vacuum clamping, manual, hydraulic or pneumatic fixtures, vices and zero point pallets, and modular automation. One example from Thame's range of standard jaws available from stock is the Inogrip jaw, which secures a workpiece by locking a precise tooth form into pre-stamped defined indentations. This ‘form-closure technology' gives a precise and secure grip with minimal clamping distortion. Soft jaws are now available in more than 600 sizes and styles and are the backbone of a range of chuck jaws that includes hard and soft jaws to suit chucks from all leading manufacturers. In addition, Thame has the specialist experience needed to design and manufacture dedicated workholding solutions for all types of machining application and virtually any shape of workpiece. As well as in-house manufactured products, Thame works with longstanding partner Witte to offer standard and special vacuum clamping solutions to secure workpieces that cannot be held by conventional clamping. Thame is now marketing the Samchully range of premium quality standard chucks, which includes power chucks, hydraulic cylinders and scroll chucks. Thame also offers a route into affordable automation with Lang modular automation. Thame Workholding
