I've used De-Sta-Co's manual clamps for use on production fixtures and holders my entire career. The clamps are simple and crude but effective. On a couple of occasions I've tried using their Robohand line and found those holders to be less precise than their competitors, yet more expensive.
De_Sta-Co excels when it sticks to it's core competency, but their attempts to move into the automation world has been lackluster in my opinion. If you're looking for a simply manually driven clamp, De-Sta-Co is a great place for this. If you're looking to integrate a gripper or holder into your automated process, I'd say look elsewhere.
Strengths: De-Sta-Co builds industrial grade clamps and holders for production fixtures and tools that come in a wide variety of sizes and materials.
Needs to improve: De-Sta-Co's bread and butter are manual style clamps. I find that their auto-clamps tend to be less precise and more expensive than their competitors.
I have used the low profile clamps for many custom fixtures. The clamps are easy to integrate into custom machined parts and can be customized to fit exactly the item that will be clamped. The online product specs and dimensions are very accurate which help immensely when designing fixtures that will utilize the clamps. Great products!
Strengths: high quality customizable clamps, great prices
Needs to improve: none
Used standard, off-the-shelf De-Sat-Co clamps for numerous tolls and fixtures for assembly. Also ordered customized, all stainless steel clamps for use in the sterile field for a medical device application. Working with them was very smooth and easy, and the clamps were reasonably priced in small volumes.
Strengths: Wide selection of industrial/machine shop clamps for fixturing.
Needs to improve: None
