M318.341 vice with quick adjustment — 25 mm jaws, ground prisms (Metav IndustryLine)

The M318.341 vice with quick adjustment is a compact bench vice designed for precise clamping of small cylindrical components in inspection, assembly and light machining applications.

• Compact 25 mm jaws for small components
• Horizontal and vertical ground prisms
• 2 mm jaw step for secure seating
• Quick‑adjust mechanism for fast set‑up

Repeatable precision for cylindrical parts

The compact vice delivers repeatable seating for round bars and cylindrical workpieces courtesy of its horizontal and vertical ground prisms, which centre components reliably during clamping. With a measured squareness of 0.01 mm and an indicated accuracy of 0.005 mm, the design reduces repositioning and rework, supporting consistent quality control across short production runs and inspection tasks. The prisms minimise lateral slip and help align shafts and pins without additional fixtures, turning manual clamping into a verifiable process.

Faster set‑up and higher throughput

A built‑in quick‑adjust mechanism speeds up cycle times by allowing the jaw to be repositioned rapidly for varying diameters, while the 2 mm jaw step gives secure seating at defined positions. The small jaw width of 25 mm combines with the quick‑adjust feature to reduce wrenching and handling, which translates into measurable time savings on repetitive operations. By focusing on swift, secure clamping the vice supports lean workflows and lowers unproductive downtime between setups.

Compact, consistent workshop fit

Engineered for bench and inspection‑stage use, the vice’s compact footprint and lightweight construction (length 65 mm; weight 0.2 kg) make it simple to integrate into crowded work areas or portable test rigs. The 10 mm jaw height provides sufficient contact area for small parts while keeping the overall profile low, which helps maintain clear sightlines during measurement or assembly. Its modest size also means it is easy to move between stations, enabling flexible station layouts without sacrificing clamping performance.

Practical applications and benefits in production

Ideal for metrology benches, toolroom inspection and light assembly, this vice is suited to tasks where consistent centring and quick handling are priorities. The combination of 25 mm jaws, ground prisms and rapid jaw adjustment makes the unit particularly effective for holding pins, shafts and small housings during checking or secondary operations. Metav IndustryLine’s quality control and European distribution ensure the vice arrives ready for integration into standardised processes, supporting traceable work routines and dependable results.

FAQ

What size of workpiece can be clamped reliably?
The M318.341 vice is designed for small components with a clamping span of 25 mm; its ground prisms make it particularly reliable for round bars, shafts and pins within that range.

Are the prisms suitable for centring cylindrical parts?
Yes, the integrated horizontal and vertical ground prisms centre cylindrical workpieces and improve seating stability during inspection and light machining with the Metav IndustryLine vice.

How does the quick‑adjust mechanism benefit production?
The quick‑adjust function on the M318.341 reduces setup time between different diameters and helps maintain consistent clamping positions, which improves throughput and repeatability.

Is the vice suitable for inspection benches and toolrooms?
The compact format, low profile and precise squareness make this vice well suited to metrology benches, toolroom inspection and small assembly stations.

What precision can be expected from this vice?
Built with a squareness of 0.01 mm and an indicated accuracy of 0.005 mm, the vice supports repeatable clamping and dependable measurement conditions for small parts.
