In an industry where speed, accuracy and flexibility determine competitiveness, manufacturers are facing a new set of challenges. Setup times are increasing. Skilled operators are harder to find. Accuracy varies between shifts. And production deadlines keep shrinking.
But one area is often overlooked — workholding.
Traditional clamping systems slow down workflows and introduce inconsistency. This is exactly the problem Sinco set out to solve with its MultiZero Clamping System, available in the UK through 1st MTA.
Across the UK and Europe, machining companies repeatedly highlight the same issues:
• Long clamping cycles
• Low machine utilisation
• Operator-dependent accuracy
• High scrap and rework
• Difficulty scaling production
• Increasing cost pressures
The result?
Reduced productivity and lost competitiveness.
The Sinco MultiZero system is a modular, full-table zero-point clamping platform designed for fast, repeatable and accurate workholding.
Unlike traditional systems that rely on a handful of locating points, MultiZero provides a dense grid of zero points across the entire machine table. This gives unmatched flexibility for clamping any workpiece, from small components to large assemblies.
Key Advantages
1.Dramatically Reduced Setup Time
Changeovers happen in minutes, not hours. Operators can clamp parts quickly with repeatable precision — regardless of skill level.
2. Exceptional Accuracy
With repeatability of ±5 µm, MultiZero ensures consistency across batches, shifts and machines, reducing scrap and boosting quality.
3.Maximise Machine Uptime
By staging fixtures offline and swapping pallets instantly, machine uptime rises significantly.
4.Automation Ready
MultiZero integrates seamlessly with robotic handling, palletisation and Industry 4.0 workflows.
5.Scalable for Any Production Environment
From high-mix/low-volume to lights-out manufacturing, the system adapts to evolving production needs.
Designed for the Future of Manufacturing
As production demands increase, workholding must evolve. MultiZero offers the precision, speed and stability required to meet modern machining challenges head-on.
With 1st MTA supporting UK manufacturers, companies can now access a proven, high-performance solution that accelerates production and reduces operational costs.
Conclusion
The MultiZero Clamping System is more than a workholding upgrade — it’s a productivity engine. For shops looking to stay competitive, reduce setup times and improve consistency, MultiZero represents a significant step forward.
The future of workholding has arrived — and it starts with zero-point precision.
