Other areas of expertise for the Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire company include replacement chucks and special chucks; mandrels, collet chucks and steady rests; vacuum clamping; manual, hydraulic or pneumatic fixtures; vices and zero point pallets; and modular automation. Soft jaws are available in more than 600 sizes and styles, and are the backbone of a range of chuck jaws that includes hard and soft jaws to suit chucks from all the leading manufacturers. In addition, Thame has the specialist experience needed to design and manufacture dedicated workholding solutions for all types of machining application and virtually any shape of workpiece. As well as, in-house manufactured products, Thame works with longstanding partner Witte to offer standard and special vacuum clamping solutions to secure workpieces, that cannot be held by conventional clamping. Vacuum workholding is a highly effective technique for holding thin or irregular shaped or non-magnetic parts and while parts with a large surface area are ideal, as the holding force is also large, there are techniques for holding small parts as well. Thame is a supplier for the Samchully range of premium quality standard chucks, which includes power chucks, hydraulic cylinders and scroll chucks. Thame also offers a route into affordable automation with Lang modular automation.
