Machine Vice, Centro Gripp

Ahire Machine Tools offers the latest clamping element, the Centro Gripp Machine Vice, launched by ALLMATIC-Jakob Spannsysteme GmbH, Germany. This boasts the highest precision as well as durability; the central clamping allows treating five sides of the workpieces. Thanks to the tried and tested 'grip system' developed by the company, clamping unfinished parts as well as already treated workpieces of different geometries is possible without any ado. Just like it is the case with the models T-Rex and TITAN, the exchangeable jaws of the new machine vice CENTRO Gripp with central clamping offers a maximum of flexibility. The ideal access to the workpiece and the secure and interlocking clamping are extremely favourable aspects for treating five sides of workpieces. The clamping element can be built in horizontally which qualifies it for being used in vertical CNC milling machines. The bores in the clamping shoulders allow for mounting it right to the machine table. Its compact dimensions make it the first choice for five-shaft machining centres. The centre of the new machine vice is adjustable. The position of the workpiece is retained within close boundaries. In case of angular workpieces, the clamping element guarantees for excellent repeating accuracy. Depending on which clamping jaws are used, treated workpieces or unfinished parts of different kinds can be safely clamped. Possible fields of application are flame or saw cutting of cast pieces. In addition, the flexible system allows for embossing and clamping in just one operational step – without the need to fall back on an extra tool. The vice is clamped with a torque wrench up to a maximum torque of 70 Nm. Depending on the grip stud insert, clamping ranges from ten to 300 millimetres are possible. Even large workpieces can be clamped safely – even in case of massive chip removal.
