A modular clamping system, also known as a clamping system kit, comprises standardized clamping elements or components which can be joined together by means of uniquely identifiable joint forms (threads, T-slots etc.) that are standardized throughout the system. sing a set of clamping components, i.e. supports, stops and clamping elements arranged in a tree structure, a workpiece is fixed onto a base plate lying flat on the TopFix reference plane / assembly bench. The standard joint forms between the clamping elements correspond to industry standards wherever these are available, e. g. bolted connections and T-slots of specified dimensions, but in many cases the connections are only specified by the clamping system manufacturer.
