Zero point clamping system: 5-axis self-centering vice & Base plates for vices

Bison Self Centring 5-Axis Precision Vice - 6650 Series

Features:

• Compact and symmetrical design makes this vice ideal for 5-axis machining centres.

• Features serrated jaws, using which reduces the area needed for holding the workpiece to only 3mm. That ensures better access to the workpiece from multiple angles and enables more complex machining operations. The advantage is reducing the machining cycle time, as well as the number of required machining operations and frequency of the tool exchanges.

• The vice can be mounted on the machine table with clamps and T-nuts or with Bison type 6589 quick-fix bases. The vice is also compatible with 52 mm and 96 mm quick-fix bases available on the market (size of the compatible base depends on size of the vice).

• Wide clamping range can be further increased by reversing the jaws.

• The vice jaws have serrated surfaces, which can bite in the raw or heat-treated material. Pre-stamping is not required.

• The jaws also have ground surfaces for clamping machined materials.

• The jaws allow for mounting side-stops.

• The operating screw is heat-treated for increased service time.

• The vices with 2-piece jaws allow for exchanging the hard top jaws with soft top jaws. The soft top jaws can be machined for clamping parts of irregular shapes. 

• Self-centring clamping action distributes the clamping force between both jaws. The force is more evenly distributed across the area of the workpiece, minimizing the risk of damage or deformation.

Bison Quick-Fix Mounting Base - 6589 Series

Features:

• High fixing repeatability, mounting holes made in ±0,005 mm tolerance.

• The height of the mounting plate made within 0,01mm tolerance.

• Low-profile mounting plate (30 mm height).

• Quick-action mounting, using only one screw.

• Suitable for mounting vices, other fixtures or direct mounting of workpieces with pre-made mounting holes, matching the location of the mounting pins.

• Pre-made base mounting holes for M10 bolts, available arrangements: 82x82 mm or 120x150mm. Other setups of mounting holes or sockets for clamps available on request.

The Bison quick-fix system is equivalent to the following systems:

• LANG Quick Point series

• Gerardi QUICK CHANGE TABLE FOR COMPACT GRIP VISES Art. 660

• Piranha Clamp Zero Point

• HWR SolidPoint
