Machinable Hard Jaws
January 1, 2025
Mate Precision Technologies offers new machinable hard jaws for all sizes of its DynoGrip workholding vises.
The machinable hard jaws are available in center and movable configurations. The jaws feature Mate's quick-change design but are blank for adding a custom profile. Customers can modify the machinable hard jaws themselves, or Mate can add the custom jaw profile before it ships. Mate's long history in making custom, high-precision machined products enables them to deliver most custom jaw profiles in 10 days or less.
The machinable hard jaws are made from the same hardened tool steel as Mate's standard jaws with the same core hardness of 45-50 HRC and surface hardness of up to 65 HRC. They handle complex geometries typically associated with soft jaws, but with increased rigidity and hardness, the company reported. Mate's machinable hard jaws are also available as center jaws to double the capacity while holding parts with complex geometries.
According to the company, the possibilities for modifying Mate's machinable hard jaws to fit special geometries are nearly endless. For example, Mate can modify jaws to accommodate custom dovetails or Picatinny rail dovetails. Other custom solutions include jaws for holding round parts, V-shaped jaws with teeth and inserts for clamping bars on top of the jaws. The machinable hard jaws are particularly well-suited for holding complex part geometry during finishing operations.
Mate's 52/96 workholding system is engineered to maximize holding power for 3-, 4- and 5- axis machining centers and consists of DynoLock bases, DynoGrip vises and DynoMount mounts. The workholding system reduces set-up times and process variability while providing accuracy and repeatability in a compact, quick-change, modular design.
