SMW-AUTOBLOK is the technology leader in the field of rotating and stationary clamping technology for workpieces. The high number of patent applications illustrates the innovative strength of the company. The newly developed high-tech digitized and mechatronic products are low-maintenance, setup time optimized, and for the most part, Industry 4.0 compatible or suitable for the automation of machining processes. The product range for workholding includes standard and special chucks, clamping cylinders, steady rests, and clamping jaws for various sectors (industry, automotive, oil industry, aerospace, etc.). The product range for stationary clamping technology consists of a wide range of different zero-point clamping systems, clamping stations, tombstones, power clamps, NC vices, and other complementary accessories.

SMW-electronics:

By combining mechanics, electronics, and software, SMW-Autoblok has transformed itself from a conventional clamping device manufacturer to a high-tech company. The product area of mechatronics, non-contact transmission technology, sensor technology, and software was further expanded and bundled into the new company SMW-electronics to generate further synergies.

The new product range of SMW-electronics includes non-contact inductive power and data transmission systems (inductive couplers), sensor and measuring systems as well as mechatronic clamping systems and grippers, corresponding software, and customized adaptations.

Target markets of SMW-electronics include machine tools, automation and robotics, electric drive technology, automotive, intralogistics, construction machinery, agricultural technology, packaging machinery, energy (oil, gas, wind), aerospace, and medical technology.

Customers benefit from individual professional, solution-oriented advice and first-class after-sales support. Optimal distribution logistics also guarantee the worldwide supply of spare parts within the shortest possible time. The German site is home to a highly automated and flexible with a high vertical range of manufacture and an up-to-date and high-tech machine park with state-of-the-art and high-precision machine tools.
