Overview A manufacturer of precision gearing and power-transmission components needed a flexible workholding system for a new high-accuracy grinding application. Working alongside a leading grinding machine OEM, Northfield developed a solution capable of handling an unusually broad range of parts...
Ordering from Northfield is now faster and easier than ever. Customers in the United States and around the world can shop online and complete their purchase directly through our website. Whether you need a standard product quickly or want a simpler way...
Speed matters, especially when production is waiting. At Northfield, our goal is simple: deliver the most efficient quotation-to-installation cycle in the industry. When a customer needs a custom workholding solution, delays in communication, engineering, and manufacturing can quickly turn into...
In today’s manufacturing environment, every investment has to deliver measurable value. Workholding is no exception. The right chuck does more than hold a part. It can reduce setup time, improve process consistency, lower scrap, and stay in service for years,...
Lights-out manufacturing is no longer a future concept. It is becoming a real priority for manufacturers looking to improve throughput, reduce labor dependency, and create more efficient production environments. As automation continues to expand, more plants are investing in systems...
For ITAR-sensitive manufacturing, supplier choice matters. In aerospace and defense programs, compliance is not limited to the finished part. Under ITAR, controlled technical data can include drawings, plans, instructions, and other information used for the design, development, production, manufacture, assembly,...
