Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the production of a clamping means for clamping a component (,) in a holder (,), especially for the production of moulding tools for the manufacture of precision articles. Spring-action clamping elements (,), for example tightening discs or clamping sleeves (,), are inserted into a recess of the holder (,) and final working thereof takes place in a position that corresponds to the subsequent position when the component (,) to be clamped is clamped. With this process, very good centricity and coaxiality of the clamped components (,) is achieved, whereby the manufacturing tolerances to be maintained for the individual components are not critical.
