AHD Workholding Pancake Actuator

adapts workholding devices
from your Turning Center directly to your Milling Center


Utilizing your workholding from your turning center to your milling center, or any other fixed application, has normally been a manual operation. The new AHD Workholding Pancake Actuator now allows you to automate this process through the use of air actuation. This saves changeover time and money because it eliminates duplicate tooling. The less time and equipment needed will also eliminate operator fatigue.
