The success story of the CLAMPBOOSTER
From the idea to the successful product
This is the story about the power full automation can provide to even older CNC machinery.
1. Simplyfing complexity
Simply ordering a robot and commissioning an integrator is not enough. Because: Who or what tightens the vise in a fully automated manufacturing process? And, who or what releases it again?
2. Simplicity through planning
We simplyfied automation through planning, we created an answer for robots to support them completing the workspiece´s clamping: The CLAMPBOOSTER expands the robot‘s capabilities by adding drive for the CNC vises. This allows the robot to perform high-precision clamping operations with manual vises quickly and securely.
3. Too good to be true
The existing production process remains untouched and can be continued as usual - thanks to fully automated CNC production without a manual component working 24/7.
This is no marketing story –
It’s the true story of our CLAMPBOOSTER,
our development,
our CNC production,
our manufacturing.
This is the game changer
for the gap in CNC automation,
for the automation of CNC machines.
The solution is right in front of you. Seeing is believing.
Who is behind CLAMPBOOSTER?
Plan. Prototype. Product.

The success story of CLAMPBOOSTER
Plan
The history of the invention of the CLAMPBOOSTER is unique: We at idee-werk were faced with the great challenge of automating our own CNC production. It quickly became clear to us that a crucial step in the production process was missing - the automation of clamping the workpiece in a manual vise. We decided to go a whole new way. This is how company founder Norbert Eugler developed the CLAMPBOOSTER.
Prototype
The invention of the CLAMPBOOSTER allowed us to close the final gap in automation. Our employees made the first prototypes in their own production. And after extensive testing in prototype construction, we were able to perfect it for serial production.
Product
With the CLAMPBOOSTER, our machinery could be fully automated within the existing systems without major investments! And the CLAMPBOOSTER went into serial production. Since then, it has been manufactured by idee-werk in Bavaria according to the highest quality standards and is now valued by numerous international customers, vise manufacturers, and integrators.
With the CLAMPBOOSTER we have found an innovative way to automate the clamping of a manual vise and thus close a large gap in fully automated CNC production. Our protected by patent solution does not require any complex and expensive conversion of your CNC machine or training of your employees, and instead optimizes your existing process.
