The Advantages
Produktübersicht More information at www.forkardt.com THE WORLDWIDE SPECIALIST I ts unique combination of technology, experience, and entrepreneurial potential makes FORKARDT one of the world’s most highly demanded providers of high quality workholding solutions developed and supervised by a team of highly qualified engineers and experts. The innovative developments produced by our House have been setting standards in workholding technology for decades. It all began with an ingenious idea in the early twentieth century: Paul Forkardt developed his famous F type hand-operated chuck that even today – with the corresponding advancements – ranks among the high precision FORKARDT standards. Contents Product group Page Founding the company in Dü sseldorf in 1923 Paul Forkardt laid the foundation stone for a combine that is now operating worldwide. Its members include not only the three FORKARDT companies in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, and France), but also an US and Chinese company and a partner company in Japan. The company 2-3 Power chucks 4-9 Besides their links to one of the world’s most Special clamping systems 20 Expanding mandrels 21 modern CAD networks all companies of the Group run their own design divisions. As a measure to eliminate wasted research and to channel capacities each location focuses on a range of technologies that are produced in part in joint production areas. Clamping cylinders 10 Manual chucks 11 - 12 Gripping jaws 13 - 17 Precision power chucks 18 - 19 Collet chucks 22 -23 Steady rests 24 Shock absorbers 25 The company 26 - 27 For instance FORKARDT Switzerland has specialised in the particular needs of the grinding industries, and FORKARDT France of the French automotive industry. 100.10.01 E 08/11 The affiliation of the FORKARDT Group with ITW (Illinois Tool Works of the USA) gave rise to a combine that assures our clients worldwide the optimal workholding solutions and the services they need for the smooth flow of their production processes. 2 This catalogue describes the entire range of FORKARDT products.

Whether the ingenious F type hand-operated chuck, indexing chuck systems, or the latest development like the QLC power chuck, we continue setting standards and consolidating our position as a technology leader. A great many technical innovations on the clamping sectors can be traced back to FORKARDT designs. For instance FORKARDT adopted a pioneering role in the development and application of centrifugal force compensation and pressure lubrication on power chucks. pursue the one goal: utilising reliability and precision for greater productivity at the optimal economic efficiency! For instance FORKARDT has been reducing the weight of its high performance products for years – with considerable cuts in the energy needs for the production process. And also the VC quick change jaw system is an example of our products’ added economic value, for considerable rationalisation effects with great work piece variance and sustainably high repeat accuracy. 100.10.01 E 08/11 Just like the first indexing chuck that was ready for series production, power-operated workholding devices and the first reliable clamping force meters originated from the workshop of our outstanding designers. 26 W O R K H O L D I N G S O L U T I O N S W O R L D W I D E D More information at www.forkardt.com E S P E C I A L I S T We find your problem gripping Extraordinary fields of application need extraordi- By constantly innovating on the various market nary solutions. Owing to their shape, size, weight, or other properties many work pieces cannot be optimally clamped and machined with the standard chucks. Our engineers are on the lookout for these challenges. For them there is no work piece, no matter what it is made of, that cannot be clamped, and this finds repeated testimony in over 100,000 designed, produced, and proven special purpose FORKARDT chucks on almost all production sectors. This enormous pool of knowledge can also benefit you. segments like medical engineering, the automotive industries, new energies, etc., we search for solutions of even greater refinement in our field of activities. FORKARDT is therefore constantly challenged to defend its position at the top of innovative workholding technology. Many of our special purpose solutions become 100.10.01 E 08/11 standard products, for instance the development of a centrically clamping indexing chuck with hydraulic centrifugal force compensation for a fittingmaker. This product has now become established on the sector as the best product in the field.
