UHF: the universal automatic locking system signed by CMS

Jun 4, 2025

UHF (Universal Holding Fixture) is the patented system, entirely designed and produced by CMS, for automatic and universal clamping of parts with articulated geometries. Thanks to its modular and intelligent structure, it can be quickly reconfigured to adapt to the shapes, even extremely elaborate, of each new piece.

 This technology is particularly suitable for the aerospace sector, where machining flexibility and precision are fundamental elements in the production of components with unique or highly complex geometries. 

A consolidated solution, designed to optimize production processes in contexts where the variety of components, the reduction of setup times and the elimination of dedicated equipment are key factors for competitiveness.  


Main features of UHF technology 

UNIVERSAL AND QUICK LOCKING 

UHF automatically adapts to parts with complex geometries, without the need for dedicated equipment. An ideal solution for variable batch production, dramatically reducing setup times and increasing efficiency. 


COMPACT AND MODULAR PRECISION

Compact 5-axis actuators that ensure precise positioning in all conditions. The plug-and-play design allows rapid replacement or repositioning of modules, without the need for a mechanical or electronic reconfiguration. 


MAXIMUM OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY 

Designed for harsh working environments, characterized by dust, humidity or uncontrolled conditions, the system integrates an effective protection of sensitive parts, ensuring continuity of production and long life.
