The new floating function with a stroke of ±2mm enables not only centering for 5-axis machining but also clamping that follows the workpiece.

The new mechanism's floating function allows for clamping in accordance with the workpiece without distortion within a stroke range of ±2mm. Additionally, the patented segment structure contributes to high precision and stability, reducing play in the guide section to nearly zero. The MC-P series, an improved and evolved version of the 5-axis machining machine vice MC series, has successfully enhanced accuracy and rigidity through its new structure. The development of the MC-P leverages the expertise and achievements in challenging cutting required for aircraft parts, improving assembly precision by hardening and polishing all parts that make up the main body, and optimizing the spindle position to eliminate unnecessary moments. Furthermore, the external dimensions and jaws of the main body maintain the same size as the previous model for compatibility. In particular, the MC-P ZB, which incorporates a patented mechanism, enables solutions for clamping challenges with multiple vices and proposals for positioning clamps. 【Applications】 - Clamping for 5-axis machining workpieces - Precision positioning clamps - Automation-compatible clamps (hydraulic) - Clamping using multiple vices for long workpieces (ZB type)
