What are the Advantages of Mutiple-Part Workholding with Hydraulic Clamping?
Load and unload parts faster and get more cycles per hour
Always have the same consistant clamping pressure
Never have an expensive
crash again because someone forgot to tighten a clamp
One operator can run multiple machines at once because of fast clamping
More time
to perform quality checks = Less Non-Conforming Product

Our non-dedicated Hydraulic Base Plates attach to the bed of any machining center. The Hydraulic Base Plates (three sizes available) contain embedded dual-action pistons every two inches on center. Pistons are activated by a two-stage, air-driven hydraulic pump with adjustable pressure between 100 and 3,000 psi. No more need for torque wrenches! Get consistent, even clamping pressure on every load! Hydraulic Base Plate Technical Data.

What is the PAWS Workholding System?
(Click on images to enlarge)
Special cross-hairs printed on the fixture plate indicate where the centerline of each piston is in the hydraulic base
below. You can simply drill holes through your fixture plate at the desired clamping points to access the
dual-action piston below.
Fixture Plates are interchangeable and
mount on top of the Hydraulic Base Plate
Clamps on the fixture open and close
as the pistons move up and down
(Fixture Plate elevated for viewing)
Fixture plates are counter-bored underneath to provide clearance for piston movement. Fixture Plates mount on
top of the PAWS Hydraulic Base and are located easily with precision bushings and locating pins. Attach your
fixture plate to the hydraulic base plate with standard 3/8-16 bolts.
This flexibility allows you to create your own interchangeable fixture plates that can be taken off the Hydraulic Base Plate
in minutes. One investment in our Hydraulic Base Plate will give you unlimited uses. Create modular fixture plates
for regular running production jobs. Change-overs on your CNC Milling Centers can now be quick and painless. Spend
more time making parts by spending less time on change overs and set-ups!
We can develop custom, Multiple Part Workholding Solutions for your CNC Vertical, Vertical 4th Axis and Horizontal Milling applications.

Using Standard Workholding Clamps On Your Fixture Plate
Any standard workholding clamp that is activated with pull-down force can be used with the PAWS System. Common clamps used in
creating Workholding Fixture Plates are OK-Vise®, Pitbull, Mitee-Bite® Uniforce, Mitee-Bite ID Expansion, Standard
V-Block, ID Collets, Vise Jaws, 5C Collets and many others.
When building your custom top plate, choose only the clamping points you need by linking the clamps on your fixture plate to the dual-action
pistons below. Un-used pistons will still move up and down underneath the fixture plate, just with no linkage to a
clamp above.

The PAWS™ Workholding System is a low-profile, non-dedicated hydraulic base plate that serves as a mechanism for clamping on fixture plates in CNC Milling environments. Available in three sizes, the PAWS hydraulic base plate offers 20, 48, or 80 dual-action pistons (or points of clamping) every two inches on center. This gives the user a clamping point grid map, or foundation, for creating quick-change fixture plates that utilize all the benefits of hydraulic clamping without tying up the CNC Milling Center with dedicated, expensive hydraulic fixturing.
Standard clamps placed on the fixture plate are linked to the dual-action pistons underneath with 5/16-18 socket head cap screws that pass through the fixture plate. Considering part size, part configuration, and tool clearance, you select the points of clamping that best meet your needs. Our standard fixture plates are counter-bored underneath to provide clearance for piston movement up and down.
The end benefit is an efficient, modular fixturing system that can actuate all your clamps at once with the flip of a lever and gives consistent, controlled pressure every time. Multiple-Part Workholding becomes a reality with the ability to clamp and un-clamp all of your parts on the fixture plate in seconds!
