Precision Hi Grip Self Centering Shaft Vice

Product Description

The UNIQUE Precision Hi-Grip Self-Centering Shaft Vice is a specialized and high-performance workholding tool designed to accurately and securely hold cylindrical workpieces. Manufactured by Unique Industries, this vice is engineered for applications where both high precision and exceptional gripping power are essential, particularly on milling, grinding, and CNC machining centers.

Key Features and Design

• Self-Centering Mechanism: The vice's jaws are precisely synchronized to move simultaneously and in opposite directions. This ensures that the shaft or cylindrical workpiece is always perfectly centered within the vice, eliminating the need for manual alignment and significantly reducing setup time.

• Hi-Grip V-Jaws: The vice features special V-groove jaws that provide a powerful four-point clamping contact. This design offers superior gripping force compared to standard flat jaws, which is crucial for preventing the workpiece from slipping or rotating during heavy cutting operations.

• Precision and Repeatability: The vice is manufactured to a very high degree of accuracy. The self-centering mechanism guarantees consistent clamping and excellent repeatability, which is essential for mass production and multi-part setups. The V-jaws themselves are hardened and ground for maximum precision and durability.

• Durable Construction: The body of the vice is cast from high-quality, high-strength ductile iron, providing a solid and rigid base that can withstand heavy machining forces. The lead screw is made from a high-tensile alloy steel and features a fine acme thread to provide smooth operation and high clamping pressure.

• Versatility: The design is ideal for clamping shafts, rods, pipes, and other cylindrical components. The jaws are also reversible to accommodate a wide range of diameters. This makes it a highly adaptable tool for various jobs.
