Zero Point Vise System Interfaces with Existing Workholding



SMW Autoblok offers the PLUS5 V5 Zero Point Vise system. The PLUS5 V5 locks and unlocks pins with only 180° rotation. Omnidirectional clamping provides uniformity while performing precision, all-directional clamping. This zero-point vise interfaces with all industry-standard products using 52 mm or 96 mm pin spacing, allowing it to easily become part of an existing workholding system.

The V5 Vise system provides self-centering operation for 5-axis machines. The device has fully protected and sealed lead screws and incorporates SinterGrip inserts for multivise integrations and eliminating dove tailing or crimping operations.

"An excellent quality-price ratio makes the vise ideal to locate, support and secure workpieces in a variety of manufacturing operations, including machining, welding and assembly," said a company spokesperson.

The pin locking mechanism consists of a cam that is operated using an eccentric pin. The cam locks all four pins simultaneously, which provides precision performance and clamping force. The force vector transmission system acts by binding the pins uniformly and in all directions.

Additional features include:

  • High-precision self-centering clamping with enhanced repeatability
  • Compact design for ease of accessibility
  • Wide clamping range
  • Clamping force up to 40 kN (80 Nm)
  • Jaw width of 87.5 mm.
