About us

Fresmak is the world’s leading manufacturer of high pressure vices.

Our long history, more than 55 years, supports us as a specialized company in the field of clamping systems and technologies. With this backing, and with innovation as our attitude, we continue to advance and take clamping to the next level, having designed and developed the most powerful adhesive clamping system on the market: F-GRIP.

As proof of the high quality of this fastening solution, we were the winners of the Quality Innovation Awards in the SME category in the Basque Country.

It is clear to us that technology must not stop growing. And we will always be driving that growth.

SUCCESS STORIES

Strong clamping for machining metallic parts

Materials: AI7075, Titanium
Description:
· Roughing, milling and grinding.
· Inclined walls.
· Curved surfaces.
· Total adhesive surface needed = 40cm2 (8 adhesives of Ø 25mm).

Result:
· Part finished using only one set up.
· No chatter observed.
· 0,015mm precision.

Non deformable clamping for soft parts

Materials: Ultra low density technical foam, honey comb
Description:
· Deformable material.
· Small camping area.
· Complex geometry.

Result:
· Part obtained with very precise tolerances, which indicates that the part was not deformed on the clamping.
· Small gluing surface provides a strong clamping.

Good machining quality of hard and fragile ceramic parts

Materials: Macor, Quartz
Description:
· Fragile material difficult to clamp.
· Poor flatness.

Result:
· No breakage during clamping.
· No chipping observed.
· Drilling possible.
· Easy and clean removal of the adhesives.

Machining of multiple small parts in one operation

Materials: Composites, Termoplastics, Ceramics
Description:
· Deformable material.
· Poor flatness plates.
· Small clamping areas.
· Significant machining stress due to tool wear.

Result:
· Strong adhesión on small surfaces.
· Obtention of complete small parts from one plate in one operation.

Faq

Revolutionizing the machining process

The adhesive foil can be cut into pieces of desirable shapes and used as individual adhesive placed on strategic points of the part. It can also be used covering completely the part. The foil is machinable so many pieces can be obtained from one plate in one operation.

1000-2000N/cm²

Depends on the size and machining stresses. Contact us for specific information.

The adhesive is solid at room temperature. Applying 100-150ºC temperature and a slight pressure is needed to ensure perfect contact with the part. A strong adhesion bond is created when cooling down to ambient temperature (20-30ºC).

No, it is solvent free

Heating up (80-100ºC)

The adhesive is removed easily by hand without leaving residues on the part.
