Abstract: In connection with a clamping device for parts, workpieces, molds, or the like, it is proposed to guide the clamping element on both sides in laterally arranged sliding rails of a bearing block which are disposed in inclined position, sloping from the rear towards the front. The bearing block is seated on a base body mounted on a base plate of a modular clamping system or another support. For the purpose of relative adjustment of the clamping element on the bearing block, a threaded element is provided which is in threaded engagement with at least one of the said parts and which bears against the other one of said parts.

Abstract: A method for producing a master plate and a master plate produced by this method which has highly accurately disposed fitting bores or fitting pins at prespecified coordinate intervals in order to form a precise grid system. The master plate serves to produce clamping plates identical to it for use in machining workpieces or building machinery. The fitting bores in the master plate are derived from insertable fitting sleeves which have a smaller diameter than preliminary bores disposed at the grid intervals in the foundation plate and are measured in their final position, preferably using measuring gauges having a zero dimension tolerance in the desired distance.

Abstract: An apparatus for the close fitting and high precision positioning of workpieces to be machined, or constructed particularly for reducing deformations of a workpiece under influence of machine tools, drilling machines, milling machines, grinders, planars, snapers, as well as a method of fabricating the apparatus.
