Norgren introduces Adaptix to challenge traditional workholding solutions

Manufacturing

Norgren is set to revolutionise traditional workholding with the introduction of Adaptix, the latest in breakthrough engineering designed to transform the way you hold and grip parts in your milling machine.

“Accuracy and repeatability are key elements to the manufacturing process that require the constant evolution of workholding techniques, strategies and tools. In order to keep up with ever- increasing demand and Industry 4.0, the market is in need of good workholding solutions to make machining easier and more profitable.”, said Andrew Gault, Business Unit Manager ANZ (Transportation & Industrial Automation)

“Norgren is at the forefront of delivering innovative solutions to solve key industry problems. Adaptix drastically reduces setup and machine time, consumption of materials, labour and energy, as well as eliminating time and money spent designing, producing and storing multiple soft jaws.”

Adaptix is purpose-built for a faster grip to chip. Innovative technology ensures repeatability and precision are maintained throughout the machining process, resulting in more uptime, faster changeovers and minimising material scrap. Unique shapes can be quickly set up and held for high mix, low volume orders, meaning manufacturing companies will have more time to quote and win business.

“By not having to make soft jaws all the time it allows us to be more profitable and spend less time on job; our setup cost is much lower. Adaptix is a newly designed technology that the market has been needing for many years in order to help shops reduce time on setups. The need has finally been met!”, Will Jones, General Manager, Jones Machine & Tool.

The Adaptix technology offers businesses in Australia a variety of features and benefits including rapid customisation, powerful hold, repeatable precision, simple set-up, corrosion and chip resistance, interchangeable grip, depth and materials, to name a few.

With 150+ years of experience manufacturing over 100 million parts per year, Norgren is dramatically reducing the steps traditionally involved; changing the way parts are held and gripped in the CNC and workholding industry forever.
