Vektek

Vektek is a leading global manufacturer of precision workholding and automation-ready clamping solutions engineered for the demands of modern manufacturing. For more than four decades, we’ve helped manufacturers increase throughput, improve repeatability, and eliminate process variation with products built for reliability, consistency, and long service life. From high-performance hydraulic workholding to advanced end-of-arm tooling, wireless pressure monitoring and Zero-Point systems, Vektek delivers the engineered foundation that automated production depends on.

As automation accelerates across every sector, manufacturers need workholding that integrates seamlessly with robotic systems, flexible cells, and high-mix production environments. Vektek’s portfolio is designed for exactly that. Our automated workholding solutions provide stable, repeatable clamping forces that allow robots, cobots, and CNC equipment to operate at peak efficiency. Whether a customer is building a fully automated line or upgrading a single station, Vektek products help unlock higher productivity with less operator intervention.

Our expanding line of end-of-arm tooling includes self-centering vises engineered for robotic gripping, part presentation, and automated loading. These vises deliver precise, repeatable clamping that ensures consistent part orientation — a critical requirement for robotic accuracy. Built with robust materials and engineered for long-term performance, they withstand the continuous cycling and dynamic forces common in automated environments.

Vektek’s Zero-Point systems further enhance automation by enabling rapid changeover, modular fixturing, and flexible part handling. With precise locating accuracy and fast, repeatable locking, Zero-Point technology reduces setup time, increases spindle uptime, and supports the quick-shift production strategies required in today’s competitive landscape. When paired with robotic tending or automated pallet systems, Zero-Point becomes a powerful enabler of lights-out manufacturing.

At the core of our product line is Vektek’s industry-trusted hydraulic workholding. Known for exceptional durability, consistent performance, and engineered precision, our hydraulic clamps, cylinders, and power supplies are used worldwide in machining, assembly, and automated production. Each component is designed to deliver stable, predictable force — the foundation of quality machining and reliable automation.

What sets Vektek apart is our commitment to engineering support and real-world problem solving. We work directly with manufacturers, integrators, and automation partners to design solutions that fit their exact processes. Our team understands the challenges of cycle time reduction, part variability, and system reliability, and we help customers build workholding strategies that scale with their automation goals.

As manufacturing continues to evolve, Vektek remains focused on delivering products that enhance precision, reduce downtime, and support the shift toward smarter, more autonomous production. Whether a facility is implementing its first robot or optimizing a fully automated line, Vektek provides the workholding foundation that keeps automation running smoothly.

At AUTOMATE in Chicago, we’re showcasing the next generation of automation-ready workholding — including end-of-arm-tooling, self-centering vises, Zero-Point systems, wireless pressure monitoring and advanced hydraulic solutions designed for robotic integration.
