Vice range aims 5-axis machining solutions November 2008
 
A new range of Hilma vice jaws that have been specifically developed for use in 5-axis machining applications. The range includes step jaws to enable secure machining on a hold of just 3mm, enabling maximum savings on raw material.

Another innovation within the range includes the Vee jaw with interchangeable insets that allows cylindrical workpieces, from 10 to 80 mm in diameter, to be machined safely.

The range is available in jaw widths of 60, 80, 100 and 120 mm. For maximum versatility, it enables smaller components to be clamped in standard vices as the range reduces jaw widths in three sizes per vice (for example, 120 mm vice jaws are available in 30,60 and 80mm widths as standard).

The range is completed by aluminium and steel soft jaws that remove the need for costly special jaws as the end user can simply machine the correct component profile directly onto the jaws.
