THE WORLDWIDE SPECIALIST


I

ts unique combination of technology, experience,


and entrepreneurial potential makes FORKARDT one
of the worlds 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.

Founding the company in Du 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 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.

Advanced Ball Lok Chuck ABL


The Advantages
The new post style arm with patent pending
"Quick Lok" jaw mount, further reduces the
overall weight of the chuck as well as reduces
the mass of the tooling extending from the
face of the chuck, allowing not only higher
RPM's, but improved chip shed.
The "Quick-Lok" design allows for jaw
changeover in less than 1 minute.
The one piece bearing improves grease
retention and provides for easier in-house
maintenance.
The arm and bearing are available as an
upgrade to your existing UBL design.

Additional advantages to this


technology:

The new "Quick Lok" jaw mount will provide you with no loose screw design, easy jaw changeover
and a reduction in mass.

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

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.
