Secure clamping that shortens setup cycles

The high clamping force of 2,500 kgf ensures workpieces remain immobile under heavy milling loads, reducing vibration and tool chatter. A firm clamp translates directly into fewer rejected parts and longer tool life; when the vice holds parts steadily, cutting parameters can be pushed closer to optimal without risking slippage. The integrated locking mechanism provides reliable retention for repeat operations, so set-up time is reduced and cycle consistency improves.

Precision and repeatability for accurate components

With an accuracy of 0.01 mm and an adjustable opening range of 0–150 mm, the vice supports fine positioning and consistent results across batches. The close tolerance capability makes the device suitable for jobs where dimensional conformity is critical; operators gain measurable process control, which benefits quality assurance and traceability. The precision specification is particularly helpful when finishing components that require tight tolerances.

Robust construction engineered for the machine shop

At approximately 29.8 kg, the vice combines mass and stability without excessive bulk, creating a secure workholding platform that resists movement under load. The design focuses on robust construction and durability to withstand daily industrial use, helping to protect both tool and workpiece. Materials and geometry concentrate mass where it is needed to dampen vibration and maintain alignment during aggressive machining.

Operational advantages and practical handling

The vice’s functional layout supports efficient clamping and clearing between operations: the broad opening range and mechanical locking allow fast insertion and removal of workpieces while maintaining repeatability. This balance of accessibility and control yields productivity gains on the shop floor; secure clamping reduces rework and supports a smoother production flow. Clear, measurable specifications aid in integrating the vice into standard operating procedures and fixtures.
