Mechanical centre-clamping vises
Mechanical centric vises, also called centre clamps or centering vises, are machine vises that are operated manually. This type of machine vise positions, clamps the workpiece or blank centered to enable optimum machining on conventional machine tools and CNC-controlled machining centres.
In our range of mechanical centric vises you will find centering vises for workpiece blank clamping as well as centering vises for clamping already pre-machined workpieces, centric vises for small batch production, for large batch production and for pallet automation.
Mechanical centre-clamping vises MZC
The centre-clamping vise series MZC is characterized
by a massive and torsion-free construction. The large
clamping width and the high clamping force enable
the universal and flexible use on multi-axis machining
centres. Due to the optimized and compact design as
well as the wide range of clamping jaw types an optimal accessibility to the workpiece for different customer
needs respectively an optimal accessibility on different
machine concepts can be reached.
