A vice-type clamp unit compatible with 5-axis machining that allows for easy switching between three clamping methods through the rearrangement of parts.
The IMG vice is a vice-type clamp unit compatible with 5-axis machining. It can flexibly accommodate a wide range of workpiece hardness, from aluminum to hardened steel. Additionally, the clamping method can be easily changed simply by rearranging the components. Therefore, it can be used with various machining machines, including 5-axis machining centers, vertical machining centers, and horizontal machining centers.
◎ The workpiece center is always constant
Thanks to the centering mechanism, the workpiece center remains constant at all times. Even if there are variations in workpiece dimensions, machining can be performed based on the workpiece center, making it ideal for 5-axis machining.
◎ Strong clamping with triangle grip
It firmly holds the workpiece by biting into it, even with a small gripping area. By changing the triangle grip, it can accommodate various materials, including high-hardness materials like hardened steel and aluminum.
◎ Excellent cleanability
Cleaning after machining is easy due to the cover on the spindle's screw section and the chip discharge outlet on the side of the vice. Even when automating workpiece exchange with a robot, it can avoid troubles caused by chips.
◎ Change clamping method according to machining content
The clamping method can be easily changed by simply rearranging the components. You can select the optimal clamping method according to the machining content.
