Increase measurement reliability with precision vices and prisms
Precision vices and prisms (also referred to as metrology vices, measuring vices, v‑blocks and prism pairs) provide the mechanical foundation for repeatable, deformation‑free workpiece positioning in quality control and shopfloor metrology. Designed for use on granite plates, optical measuring stations or 3D coordinate measuring machines, these tools ensure that even the most sensitive measuring instruments deliver valid results by preventing slippage, distortion or stress in the workpiece.
How they work and where they are essential
Precision vices clamp components without inducing stress, while prism pairs centre and support cylindrical and rotationally symmetric parts such as shafts and pins. Machined from hardened, stainless gauge steel and finished with finely lapped faces, measuring vices feature construction that prevents the movable jaw from lifting; prism pairs are supplied as matched units to DIN 874, guaranteeing identical height and true centre‑line seating. Variants with integrated clamping straps or switchable magnetic prisms add flexibility for run‑out, position and scribing checks.
Tangible benefits that speed up production and reduce uncertainty
- Micrometre‑level accuracy: engineered surfaces and matched prism pairs eliminate systematic height errors.
- Stable, deformation‑free clamping: prevents measurement scatter caused by part movement or stress.
- Reduced setup and repeat times: repeatable positioning lowers effective cycle time during series inspections.
- Environmental robustness: choice of low‑distortion materials and lap‑finished surfaces maintains geometry across temperature variations.
- Versatile application: suitable for coordinate measuring machines, optical benches and manual inspection on granite plates.

FAQ
How do precision vices and prisms improve measurement accuracy?
Precision vices and prisms provide a mechanically stable reference for the workpiece; by eliminating movement and deformation they ensure that the measured geometry reflects the part, not fixturing errors.
Are prism pairs matched to any standard?
Prism pairs are supplied as pairwise ground units in accordance with DIN 874, which guarantees identical heights and reliable centring for cylindrical parts.
What materials and surface finish are used for measuring vices?
Measuring vices are typically made from hardened, stainless gauge steel with all faces ground square and parallel and with finely lapped contact surfaces to avoid marking and to secure dimensional stability.
Can these vices and prisms be used on coordinate measuring machines and optical benches?
Yes. The design and materials of precision vices and prisms make them suitable for use on granite plates, optical measuring stations and 3D coordinate measuring machines, where repeatability and low measurement uncertainty are required.
