metallstender

Metallstender is a term that is not widely used in English-language technical literature. It may be encountered as a generic designation for a stand or fixture designed to support metalwork pieces during processing, or it may reflect regional terminology or translation from German. In practice, metallstender references most commonly indicate a workstation stand used to hold components during welding, cutting, grinding, painting, or inspection.

Most metallstenders share common design elements: a stable base, a vertical support, and an adjustable arm, jaw, or clamp system to hold a workpiece. They are typically made from steel or aluminum and finished to resist corrosion. Some models are bench-mounted, others are free-standing with weighted bases, and some are wall- or ceiling-mounted to save floor space. Adjustable features may include height, tilt, and rotation.

Applications span many metalworking tasks, including fixturing for welding, alignment during assembly, holding parts for grinding or coating, and serving as jig supports in prototype or small-batch production. Safety and compatibility considerations include load capacity, clamping range, vibration resistance, and compatibility with common tooling and accessories.

Because the term is not standardized, the exact specification and naming of a metallstender can vary by manufacturer and region. When evaluating a product, users should consult official datasheets and schematics to confirm load ratings, mounting options, and fit with existing equipment.
