Product innovations 2025: Increased efficiency in CNC production
Production managers and production supervisors are constantly faced with the challenge of optimizing machine running times, reducing set-up times and minimizing workpiece costs. GRESSEL is tackling precisely these issues with its 2025 product innovations. The new clamping technology and automation solutions enable even more efficient and economical production – from single part machining to large-scale production.
More workpieces in less time – multiple clamping for 5-axis machines
With the C3 L-80 mm 6-fold clamping tombstone, up to six workpieces can be clamped simultaneously. Thanks to the interference-free five-sided accessibility, clamped workpieces can be machined almost completely. This means
- Less non-productive time due to fewer transformer operations
- Longer machine running times and maximum spindle utilization
- Optimal use of 5-axis machining centers for efficient production
The six-fold clamping reduces non-productive times considerably, especially for smaller workpieces. Up to six workpieces can be machined simultaneously in a single cycle – a clear advantage for companies that want to increase their productivity.
Flexibility in clamping technology – round part clamping without pre-clamping
With the new reversible grip 5 mm prismatic jaws, round workpieces can now be clamped even more flexibly – without prior embossing. The clamping ranges extend from Ø 15 mm to Ø 170 mm, depending on the clamping variant. Advantages of this solution:
- Reliable clamping of round parts without complex pre-machining
- Versatile application options for different diameters
- Reduced set-up times thanks to simple handling
This innovation offers a clear advantage for manufacturing companies that regularly machine round workpieces and want to optimize their clamping processes.
Centric clamp C2.0 125 XL – More clamping length for large components
GRESSEL is expanding its proven range with the new XL version of the C2.0 centering vice. Six different base body lengths – from 390 mm to 740 mm – enable centric clamping of workpieces with a size of 24 mm to 727 mm.
Special advantage: All variants can be converted into a “floating” version, which offers considerable advantages, especially when clamping large components.
Maximum precision with the SC2.0 fixed jaw clamp
Complete workpiece machining on six sides not only leads to more efficient production, but also reduces production costs. With the SC2.0 fixed-jaw clamp, GRESSEL offers a clamping solution that:
- Transformer operations reduced
- Improved accuracy through high angular precision
- The workpiece throughput times significantly reduced
This clamping solution is ideal for manufacturing companies looking for economical and precise complete machining.
Hydraulic automation solutions – efficiency in series production
With the new D2 125 hydraulic double clamps and the CLH 125 hydraulic centric clamp, GRESSEL is setting new standards in automation. Advantages of these clamping solutions:
- Double clamp D2 125: Six different lengths for workpiece clamping ranges from 33 mm to 323 mm
- CLH 125 centric clamp: Clamping force up to 80 kN, integration into automation systems thanks to IO-Link interface
Hydraulic clamping systems enable a consistently high clamping force and thus improve process stability and repeat accuracy – ideal for series production or robot-automated loading.
Electric 5-axis clamp grepos-5X-E – precision at the touch of a button
With the grepos-5X-E, GRESSEL offers an all-electric solution for 5-axis machining. Highlights of this system:
- 120 mm continuously programmable clamping stroke
- Programmable clamping force monitoring for maximum process control
- Fully sealed to IP67 for use in demanding environments
The digital control of this clamping system further advances the automation of clamping processes.
Hybrid tombstone – maximum stability with reduced weight
GRESSEL combines the advantages of steel and mineral casting in the new hybrid clamping tombstone. This innovative design enables:
- Lower weight for easy handling
- Excellent vibration damping for reduced tool load
- Optimum use of the maximum load capacity of modern machine tables
Thanks to the improved damping properties, higher cutting speeds can be achieved without negatively affecting tool life.
Conclusion: More productivity with GRESSEL clamping technology
With the 2025 product innovations, GRESSEL offers innovative solutions for production managers and production supervisors who want to maximize their machine running times, minimize set-up times and ensure economical production.
