Innoclamp develops and manufactures modular, automated hydraulic clamping systems for thin-walled and complex-shaped workpieces.
Innoclamp GmbH
AachenNew on Amplifa
Your partner for innovative clamping systems
Innoclamp GmbH was founded in 2015 as an academic spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology from the Aachen university environment. The company develops and manufactures clamping systems for machining that fully automate complex clamping processes. The product portfolio includes the modular INNOCLICKER clamping system, the flexible INNOFLOAT system for thin-walled workpieces, the patented BLISKER system with vibration damping, and the INNOCARRIER system for large series of complex-shaped workpieces. The components are manufactured in-house and with partner companies from the Aachen region – including 3- and 5-axis CNC milling, CNC turning and grinding, Selective Laser Melting, welding and coating. In addition to development and production, Innoclamp offers on-site commissioning, maintenance, repair, and technology consulting with FEM, contact and multi-body simulations. Customers include industries such as aerospace, mechanical engineering and toolmaking.
