In the past, manufacturing engineers often turned to homemade “doohickey or thingamajig” solutions when they had a need to hold something, somehow, somewhere. Today an innovative, modular hardware clamping product is making the challenge of holding and mounting objects a simpler and more straightforward process. The SnakeClamp from SnakeClamp Products, LLC (Riner, VA) is a modular hardware tool designed around interchangeable clamps, flexible gooseneck arms, and various mounting bases that has grown from offering a handful of configurations to thousands of product combinations through its “mix and match” design.
Recently, the company expanded its Workholding SnakeClamp product line to include attachments for micro-assembly applications, different clamping and holding options, and a 3-finger grasping mechanism. These products are used in manufacturing and industrial environments ranging from medical products, aerospace, automotive, technology, and more. “The SnakeClamp is a platform that can be customized through an assortment of different parts and configurations to hold what you need, right where you need it,” said Tom Zuckerwar, the co-founder and director of sales and marketing at SnakeClamp. “It’s amazing how many people in companies and industries of all kinds and sizes, both domestically and internationally, have very specific workholding and clamping challenges in manufacturing operations.”
