The right clamping solution: gredoc, grepos-5X, C2.0 and S2<\/h2>\n\n
Thanks to advice from Sokha Hem of GRESSEL AG and Christian Schlintl of Schunk Intec Austria, Leo Rainer was able to find a clamping system that makes his production process significantly more efficient. Now in use on a 3-axis machine are the GRESSEL gredoc zero-point clamping system, grepos-5X 5-axis clamps and C2.0 centre clamps on pyramids and modular extensions such as S2. <\/p>\n\n A SCHUNK zero-point clamping system was installed on the machine table as the basis for the setup. It ensures the right conditions for the production of individual parts and small batches. <\/p>\n\n For machining individual parts, the customer opted for the grepos-5X, which impresses with its large, quickly adjustable clamping range. This allows for a rapid response to different component sizes: a clear advantage in terms of time and cost efficiency. <\/p>\n\n In order to make the transition from individual parts to small-batch production as efficient as possible, a pyramid-type solution was chosen, combined with the mechanical gredoc zero-point clamping system. This configuration significantly reduces both machine running time and machining time per component. <\/p>\n\n \u201cThanks to GRESSEL\u2019s well-designed modular clamping system, we can significantly reduce unproductive downtime. We save one hour in set-up time and achieve three to four hours of unmanned spindle running time per day, which means that, as a one-man operation, I can focus on other tasks,\u201d says Rainer about the clamping system.<\/p>\n\n Rainer was able to achieve longer machine running times thanks to the modular clamping solution and the option of multiple set-ups. With operating costs remaining virtually unchanged, he has thus achieved an efficiency gain of over 20 percent. The higher daily output of parts has a direct impact on turnover, particularly in series and small-batch production. <\/p>\n\n Consistently reducing set-up times by around an hour a day significantly cuts indirect production costs. Less time spent on set-up means less downtime and lower labour costs, as the same amount of work is completed in a shorter time. The GRESSEL gredoc zero-point clamping system enables quick, precise and repeatable set-up changes. Clamping devices can be changed in a matter of minutes, which allows Leo Rainer to remain extremely flexible, particularly when dealing with individual parts and prototypes. \u201cLeo Rainer impressively demonstrates how a one-man business can take the leap into the future. Using our clamping solutions, he has optimised his processes, reduced set-up times and got the most out of his machine \u2013 enabling him to remain competitive and flexible,\u201d says Sokha Hem, distribution engineer at GRESSEL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The pressure to innovate, the highest standards of precision and international competition: how can a one-man business remain competitive in today\u2019s world?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":70670,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"blog_kategorien":[546,549],"blog_tags":[545],"class_list":["post-70676","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","blog_kategorien-clamping-technology","blog_kategorien-gressel-practice-en","blog_tags-clamping-technology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gressel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2838-2-1024x768.jpg\")
