Built-in vise
A machine vise clamps and fixes a workpiece from both sides regardless of its shape. This general applicability makes it an often-used tool for many different machining processes. However, a conventional machine vise makes the machining chamber smaller, because it is mounted on the table. This is why NABEYA Co., LTD. and DMG MORI jointly developed a “built-in vise” by integrating the vise into the table to solve this problem. This innovative multiple purpose fixture system enables maximum usage of the machining chamber.
Extension of the machining chamber by 60% in Z-axis and by 74% in Y-axis
direction, leading to 2.7 times more machining volume.
The “built-in vise” is a multiple purpose fixture system with the vise embedded inside the table. The moving and stationary pieces of the vise are separated, and the table side consists of T-slots crossing with each other. It is possible to use several built-in vises at the same time like conventional vises. Thanks to the direct mounting of the workpiece onto the table, the machining chamber in Z-axis direction is enlarged by 60%.
When using a conventional vise, the width of a clamper takes away machining are, too. However, the “built-in vise” with the minimized moving part to fix the workpiece increases the machining space in Y-axis direction by 74%.
As a result, the total machining volume becomes 2.7 times larger than before, and a wider range of workpieces can be machined.
The design of the built-in vise.
Designed for higher machining precision with workpiece fixing in both X and Y-directions
During machining a workpiece should be placed as close as possible to the table. The “built-in vise” is ideal, as the workpiece is in fact placed right on top of the table. Furthermore, the “built-in vise’s” structure prevents the workpiece from lifting from the table and ensures very high accuracy.
The “built-in vise” even makes it possible to fix the workpiece in both X and Y-directions by allowing position changing of the clamping part. As a result, it offers a higher flexibility towards machining of different types of workpieces.
Even higher usability through different optional components
A mounted built-in vise (Vertical Machining Center i 30 V)
Optional components will further increase the range of possible workpieces, such as adaptors to support thin-shaped or deformed workpieces, vertical clamps to enable clamping from Z-axis direction, and components to raise the workpiece by 50mm.
This solution is designed for those customers who wish to minimize the waste of precious machining chamber and utilize the machine’s stroke to its fullest potential. We kindly invite you to try out DMG MORI’s “built-in vise”.
