Workholding tools cover a range of components that are used for workpiece-positioning applications. Workholding clamps have many different fastening mechanisms, sizes, and material types. Toggle, spring, strap, pneumatic, edge, pin, angle, spreader, and hand-screw clamps, as well as C-clamps, are the most common styles. Work holding clamps may be mounted to a machine table, attach to a bench, or attach to a special base or vise. Some use manual force, while others maintain clamping power through magnetism or another method. Workholding equipment also includes vises and other types of positioning arms and holders and lift tables. These may be powered by a manual, pneumatic, or electric source. Material types for work holding tools vary depending on the product type. Many clamps and other equipment are made from iron or steel for high strength. Additional components of the assemblies, such as vise pads, may be made from different materials such as rubber to avoid workpiece marring.
