The FCS clamping system is a modular workholding and fixture system designed to connect the workpiece (or a vise/fixture) to the machine table securely and with high repeatability.
It lets you clamp everything from simple blocks to complex shapes quickly and precisely, improving machining efficiency and reducing setup time.
The FCS Zero Point System (ZPS) is a quick-change clamping system used in CNC machines to drastically reduce setup time and improve repeatability.
