For over 25 years, MAPAL has built up a broad portfolio of clamping products that ranges from the clamping cartridge to the application-specific hydraulic chuck. Now, MAPAL is announcing an entirely new appearance for these items.

By re-designing product lines, the complete range will now have a uniform appearance and simultaneously offer added value for customers by utilising intelligent design strategies. Until now, industrial product design has played a less significant role during the development of chucks at MAPAL with the focus primarily centering upon reliable functionality. As a result, the developers at MAPAL have gradually built up a broad portfolio that did not have a uniform appearance.
The remit was to revise the appearance of the chucks whilst adding value for the customer by means of carefully considered industrial design. Why? An ingenious design is not only a visual highlight, it also taps into economic and ecological benefits for both MAPAL and its customer base. Using this as a starting point, the product designers worked in synergy with product developers at MAPAL, building completely new concepts that are based on functional FEM analyses to improve performance, ergonomics and economy for end users.
