Stable, repeatable clamping for accurate machining

A high clamping force of 40 kN combined with verified precision to 0.01 mm gives consistently stable workholding that reduces part movement during cutting operations. This level of force prevents slippage on heavy cuts while the tight tolerance supports close-tolerance finishing without reliance on additional fixtures. For practical terms: the specified accuracy denotes that repositioning or repeated setups maintain dimensional conformity, which in turn lowers scrap rates and rework. The mechanical design transfers operator input into reliable force transmission, keeping process variability low and machining cycles predictable.

Flexible capacity that accommodates varied workpieces

The vice provides an opening range of 0–165 mm, enabling secure clamping of small components as well as larger blanks without frequent tool changes. This span supports a broader scope of jobs on a single machine table, improving floor efficiency by reducing changeover time. Where multiple part sizes must be processed in one shift, the adaptable jaw travel minimises idle time and simplifies jig planning. The universal format allows standard jaws to be fitted or swapped for application-specific faces, offering a practical base for both prototype and series production.

Right-hand configuration and robust build for workshop reliability

Delivered in a right-hand configuration, this model suits set-ups where chuck orientation or machine-tool ergonomics favour a fixed jaw on the machine’s right side. With a mass of approx. 53 kg, the vice provides a low centre of gravity and exceptional resistance to vibration and overturning moments. The weight and construction contribute to a steady clamping platform that improves surface finish and tool life by dampening micro-movements during aggressive cuts. The mechanical nature of the unit also ensures compatibility with a wide range of machining centres and rotary tables.

Power-enhanced mechanics for low-maintenance production

The vice is a mechanical, power-enhanced design that amplifies applied force through efficient linkage rather than relying on hydraulics or electrics, which simplifies maintenance and reduces potential points of failure. This approach means fewer consumables and no hydraulic fluid checks, translating into predictable upkeep intervals and lower lifecycle complexity. For operations focused on uptime, the durable components and straightforward adjustment reduce downtime for servicing, while straightforward spare-part logic supports rapid repairs when required.
