Compact Power Clamp Centric Vise



ROEMHELD North America has launched the new Power Clamp Centric (PCC) self-centering vise, an advanced solution for precise clamping applications. Available in pneumatic and hydraulic versions, the PCC combines advanced engineering with versatility to meet the needs of series production for precision workpieces.

Designed to handle the most demanding tasks, the PCC enables enhanced positioning and clamping with a centering precision of ±0.005 mm. This makes it suited for aerospace and medical manufacturers seeking precision in series production. The double-acting cylinder enables interior and exterior clamping, making it suitable for a wide range of workpieces and fixture set-ups.

The PCC is versatile enough to integrate seamlessly into a current set-up as it is compatible with most standard zero point clamping systems. Its adaptability means that manufacturers can use this vise across multiple configurations, whether for single or multiple clamping fixtures.

The block-type design of the PCC allows for a larger clamping piston to be installed from below, resulting in an high clamping force, even in the pneumatic version. The piston force is transmitted backlash-free to the base jaws synchronously and concentrically, providing a secure and reliable hold.

"Despite its robust performance, the PCC maintains a compact, space-saving design," said a company spokesperson. "This makes it an excellent choice for set-ups where space is limited but high clamping forces and precision are required."

To meet the specific needs of various applications, the PCC offers a range of optional features, including:

  • Clamping stroke monitoring for increased control and accuracy
  • Pneumatic contact control for detecting workpiece presence
  • Connection for positive air pressure protection to guard against contaminants
  • Port for central lubrication to prolong the life of the vise
  • Quick-change jaws for faster set-up changes
  • RFID chip for improved tracking and data management.

Key advantages:

  • High rigidity and low wear due to hardened surfaces
  • Compact design allows for more efficient use of space
  • High clamping force even in pneumatic operation
  • Versatile clamping options for interior and exterior workpieces
  • Manifold mounting or pipe thread as standard options
  • Professional customer consultation to ensure optimal integration.
