Greg Heaton, Workholding Regional Sales Manager – East Region at Mate Precision Technologies,, gave an in-depth look at the company’s DynoGrip™ vises and the DynoLock™ zero-point workholding platform (52/96 format). He explained how the patented quick-change vise jaws—featuring two-piece jaws and tool-free snap-on pushers—make changing jaws fast and simple. The modular setup is designed to reduce changeover time by as much as 90% and can be customized for specific applications, multi-vise layouts, and automated or robotic workflows. The system’s adaptable design manages variations in material while still delivering the precision, repeatability, and clamping force needed for high-accuracy machining.

​Increase your factory productivity with the all-new, next-generation 52/96 zero point workholding system from Mate Precision Technologies: Mate DynoGrip™ Vises, Mate DynoLock™ Bases and Mate DynoMount™ Mounts and Accessories. 

As a precision manufacturer, finding the right workholding solution was a constant challenge. Like many companies, we wanted to ensure setup times were as fast as possible. In addition, given the precise nature of our products, keeping process variability to a minimum was paramount. 

When we couldn’t find exactly what we wanted, Mate decided to make its own 52/96 workholding system. It is so good that we believed other manufacturers would want it and decided to enter the workholding market. 

The Mate 52/96 zero point workholding system maximizes holding power in a compact, quick-change modular design that reduces setup time and process variability. It is ideal for 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining centers.

With an eye to factory automation, the Mate 52/96 zero point workholding system includes QuickSpecs™, a unique product identification system that provides real-time access to product information and potential integration into your business systems. The product also supports common robotic interfaces and palletizing systems.
