Clamping and fixture operations are frequent sources of injuries and productivity losses in small and medium industrial workshops. Traditional manual vise tightening can create pinch points, repetitive strain, inconsistent clamping force, and longer cycle times, especially when parts are handled in batches. This paper presents a simple, invention-driven concept: an automated pneumatic clamping system that retrofits to a standard industrial vise and uses sensors and safety logic to improve occupational safety (SSM)...
