Precision that keeps production on target

Hydraulic actuation provides a constant clamping force, which is essential when tolerances are tight and cycle times are short. The vice delivers repeatability down to 0.01 mm, reducing the need for frequent re-measurement and rework; this level of stability benefits finishing passes and tool life by keeping the workpiece position consistent relative to the cutter. Where dimensional consistency is a priority, the controlled clamping of a hydraulic unit minimises deformation compared with uneven manual tightening, supporting a smoother production flow and fewer rejects.

Flexible workholding for varied workpieces

A wide opening of 0–310 mm accommodates a broad range of part sizes without the need for multiple fixtures, cutting setup time between jobs. The vice’s footprint of 1140 x 280 x 163 mm is designed to fit standard machine tables while offering generous jaw travel, enabling secure clamping of both longer components and compact blocks. This versatility helps consolidate fixturing inventory and simplifies job planning: one vice can cover several part families, improving throughput and reducing handling complexity on the shop floor.

Stability and durability to withstand machining forces

A substantial mass of 94.3 kg gives the vice excellent inertial stability, damping vibration and improving surface finish during heavy milling operations. The hydraulic operation ensures repeatable clamping force cycle after cycle, while the robust construction is intended for continuous use in industrial environments. Compared with simpler screw vices, hydraulic units like this one allow faster clamping/unclamping sequences and more consistent pressure distribution across the jaws, which protects delicate geometries and extends fixture life. Routine inspection of seals and hydraulic connections keeps performance reliable with straightforward maintenance.
