As early as the 1990s, MTU Aero Engines and Stark jointly developed a standardised interface for the clamping technology used by Germany’s leading engine manufacturer. Since then, it has ensured highly precise workpiece clamping throughout the entire machining process—from setup and CNC milling, turning and mill-turning through to grinding, welding and measuring. Whether manual or fully automated, clamped via fixtures and pallets, the interface consistently delivers micrometer-accurate precision—regardless of machine type, manufacturer or year of manufacture.
