From 20 to 24 April 2026, DiaClamp presented innovative workholding solutions for the mechanical machining of blades and vanes at MACH 2026 in Birmingham.

Together with Advanced Grinding Solutions (AGS) and WICK AG, we were represented in Hall 20, booth 418.

The focus was on practical, process‑driven fixturing concepts for demanding, thin‑walled geometries, including:

• defined and controlled force flow into the component
• minimized deformation
• high repeatability for multi‑stage machining processes
• optimal tool accessibility for modern 4‑ and 5‑axis machining strategies

Together with Advanced Grinding Solutions, we clearly demonstrated the decisive impact that well‑engineered mechanical workholding has on stable and reproducible processes in blade and vane manufacturing. 

Our sincere thanks go to WICK AG and the entire Advanced Grinding Solutions team for the excellent collaboration, their high level of technical commitment, and the outstanding hospitality throughout MACH 2026. The open, trusting exchange and the many valuable discussions with users and partners made this exhibition a particularly rewarding and successful event for DiaClamp.

Our new film impressively demonstrates how fast, precise and reliable cassette changes are with DiaClamp. The modular DiaClamp system was specially developed for the demanding machining of blades, vanes and complex free-form contours and sets new standards in set-up time optimisation.

Advantages at a glance:

• Quick cassette changes for maximum machine availability
• Repeatable referencing without re-measurement
• High flexibility for different geometries and series
• Genuine process reliability, even for complex 5-axis machining operations

This film provides a transparent insight into the technology behind the DiaClamp workpiece clamping system.

In another customer project, we successfully validated the DiaClamp® workpiece clamping system under real production conditions for machining complex free-form surfaces.

The completed Site Acceptance Test (SAT) confirms: maximum clamping force, reproducible precision and comprehensive process reliability.

Technical highlights:

• Specially designed for challenging geometries such as blades and vanes
• Integrated zero point interface for minimal set-up times
• High repeat accuracy in 4- and 5-axis machining

Test results at a glance:

• Consistently high clamping force with varying contours
• No deformation of free-form surfaces
• Optimised accessibility for tool paths

DiaClamp® embodies Swiss precision and the courage to redefine boundaries. It opens up new possibilities for the demanding manufacture of complex components – reliable, innovative and perfect down to the last detail.

The DiaClamp® team in January 2026

For DiaClamp®, 2025 was much more than just a successful year – it was a real milestone. With the further development of our workpiece clamping device for blades, vanes and complex free-form surfaces

in machining, we have not only optimised a product, but also set a new standard in manufacturing.

2025 was characterised by passion, vision, courage and shared successes.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to our customers, suppliers and business partners for their reliability, and especially to our outstanding team. Your trust, your ideas and your enthusiasm have made this success possible.

Now we are looking ahead: 2026 will be the year in which we redefine the boundaries of machining together with our customers, partners, suppliers and our team.

More precision. More efficiency. More possibilities. Thank you for your trust and shared passion.

We look forward to what lies ahead!

The DiaClamp team in the New Year 2025/2026

Our innovative DiaClamp® workpiece clamping system was specially developed for the precise, reproducible machining of blades, vanes and other workpieces with complex free-form surfaces.

Technical highlights:

• Compatible with zero-point clamping systems for maximum process reliability
• High rigidity and repeatability for demanding geometries
• Optimised clamping force distribution for low-vibration machining processes
• Modular design for flexible adaptation to different workpiece shapes
• Digital twins for collision testing and CAM simulation

The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) has been successfully completed. Installation with SAT (Site Acceptance Test) at the end customer's premises will follow next week.

This marks another important step on our path towards more efficient and digitally networked manufacturing processes.

A big thank you to our team and our end customers for the excellent cooperation.
