Vises

1. Overview

ToolsVises are mechanical clamping devices used to secure workpieces during machining, assembly, or inspection. As core fixtures in manufacturing, they ensure stability and precision by preventing unintended movement. Modern vises integrate advanced materials and ergonomic designs to meet demands for automation, high-speed processing, and multi-axis machining.

2. Major Types & Functional Classification

TypeFunctional FeaturesApplication Examples
Bench VisesFixed base with manual screw driveMetalworking benches, woodworking
Machining Center VisesQuick-clamp mechanism with modular basesCNC milling/drilling operations
Pneumatic/Hydraulic VisesAutomated clamping with pressure regulationMass production lines
Angle VisesAdjustable clamping angles (0-90 )Welding fixtures, 3D measurement

3. Structure & Components

Typical construction includes:

  • Base: Cast iron/steel for vibration damping
  • Jaws: Hardened tool steel with replaceable inserts
  • Lead Screw: Trapezoidal thread for precise force transmission
  • Actuation System: Manual handle, pneumatic cylinder, or servo motor
  • Swivel Base (optional): 360 rotational capability

Advanced models incorporate digital force sensors and quick-change jaw systems.

4. Key Technical Specifications

ParameterImportance
Clamping Force (kN)Determines maximum workpiece stability
Opening Capacity (mm)Defines maximum workpiece size
Stroke Length (mm)Affects clamping speed and range
Material Hardness (HRC)Impacts wear resistance
Repeatability ( m)Critical for precision machining

5. Application Fields

Main industries:

  • Automotive: Engine block machining
  • Aerospace: Composite material cutting
  • Electronics: PCB assembly fixtures
  • Construction: Steel component welding

Typical equipment integration: CNC lathes, grinding machines, robotic assembly cells.

6. Leading Manufacturers & Products

Mitutoyo AmericaPrecision 5-Axis vise ( 0.002mm repeatability)

7. Selection Recommendations

Key considerations:

  • Match clamping force to material strength requirements
  • Verify throat depth for oversized components
  • Assess automation compatibility (IO-Link, pneumatic interfaces)
  • Prioritize corrosion-resistant models for wet environments
  • Consider modular systems for multi-variant production

Example: Automotive brake disc machining requires >15kN force with 300mm opening capacity.

8. Industry Trends

Development directions:

  • Smart vises with IoT-enabled pressure monitoring
  • Carbon fiber composite bodies for weight reduction
  • AI-powered adaptive clamping systems
  • Quick-swap modular jaw systems
  • Eco-friendly surface treatments (electroless nickel)
