What customers say about us
FAQ
1. Which machine tools and equipment is this vise suitable for?
A: This product is designed for high-precision machining and is widely applicable to 4-axis and 5-axis machining centers, CNC indexing machines, and vertical or horizontal CNC milling machines. Its ingenious design is particularly suitable for complex cutting on 5-axis multi-axis machining centers, allowing it to be perfectly integrated into modern precision manufacturing production lines.
2. What is the repeatability of the vise? What is the significance of this for machining?
A: The center repeatability of this vise can be stably maintained within ±0.01mm. This extremely high precision means that in batch processing or complex processes requiring multiple clamping, the workpiece reference position remains consistent, fundamentally ensuring dimensional consistency and ultra-high precision, a key guarantee for precision machining.
3. What are the characteristics of the jaws? How is high versatility achieved?
A: The vise jaws are made entirely of steel and heat-treated to HRC42° or higher, possessing extremely high wear resistance and rigidity. Its bidirectional detachable design allows users to flexibly adjust or change the direction of the jaws according to the shape and requirements of the workpiece being clamped, significantly improving the flexibility and applicability of the clamping solution.
4. How does the product solve the common problem of workpieces floating during machining?
A: This vise, through a special structural design, actively generates a downward force when clamping the workpiece. This force effectively counteracts the upward tendency of the workpiece caused by cutting forces, excellently preventing workpiece floating and vibration, thus ensuring excellent locking force, making the machining process more stable and the surface quality higher.
5. How does the design of the slide rails ensure long-term accuracy and durability?
A: The sliding rails on both sides of the vise undergo hardening heat treatment (HRC42°). This treatment gives the slide rails extremely high hardness, wear resistance, and tensile strength. Even under long-term, high-frequency use, it can effectively resist wear and deformation, thus ensuring the vise's overall high precision and ultra-long service life.
This product is a high-performance automated vise designed specifically for modern precision manufacturing. It integrates a high-rigidity structure, precise clamping force control, and an intelligent automation interface, aiming to meet the stringent requirements from complex multi-axis machining to high-efficiency mass production.
