Self-Centering 5-Axis Vise

5th Axis Inc. has introduced its newest V75100 self-centering 5-axis vise. Designed to be the smallest self-centering vise in the 5th Axis product line, the V75100 offers enhanced rigidity and clamping force in a compact package. A version of the device and company were recently profiled on Science Channel's "How It's Made."

While the V75100 is designed for all 5-axis machining operations, its compact footprint makes it ideal for smaller 4- and 5-axis mills.

"When our team attended IMTS in Chicago last year, we found there were increased customer requests for a smaller vise, so we immediately went to work to meet this demand," said Chris Taylor, Co-CEO. "There is really no other vise on the market that offers the flexibility that this unit offers," added Steve Grangetto, Co-CEO.

The V75100 pumps out 4,000 lbs. of clamping force at 45 ft. lbs. of torque. It provides access to five sides of the workpiece, featuring a built-in 45° dovetail and gripper teeth that bite into stock without the need for a stamping unit.

Built from heat-treated steel, the V75100 is milled and precision ground and features a centering accuracy of .0005".

The removable and reversible master jaws allow for an increased clamping range of .05" - 3.5". The jaws are simple to remove, allowing for quick changeover between hard and soft jaws.

When the V75100 was designed, the goal was to have quick and easy alignment features. Two precision threaded shoulder bolts secure and locate the jaws of the V75100. The vise also utilizes a threaded centering hole and two self-centering clocking holes at 30 mm.
