EPM – Pneumatic Concentric Vise

Pneumatic Concentric Vise

The Pneumatic Concentric Vise enables fast operations thanks to its precise clamping force. With high repeatability and excellent centering accuracy, it offers long-term use within tight tolerances. Thanks to a wide range of optional configurations, it provides a flexible and adaptable working environment.

Pneumatic concentric vises are critical components in precision machining technologies and high-accuracy serial production. They have become indispensable tools for the flawless clamping of sensitive parts in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and aviation.

Hidrofix pneumatic concentric vises lead the industry with their high repeatability in all applications requiring precision. Pneumatic fixtures play a crucial role in securing parts that cannot be machined using standard fixturing methods.

The Hidrofix pneumatic concentric vise can be used not only as a standalone unit but also as an integrated fixture component. These vises offer seamless compatibility and synchronization with other Hidrofix products such as LHS and DHS, significantly enhancing efficiency in industrial production processes.

Optional Preferences

As with all Hidrofix products, the concentric vise offers customers flexible and customizable options. These include side or bottom port entries for perfect integration into the user’s system, air control port options, and most importantly, a clamping status sensor , which is critical for automation systems.

Port Entry Options

Standard vise configurations may not always perfectly align with a customer’s system. Traditional concentric vises typically feature dual ports—both side and bottom entries. Unused side ports are usually sealed with plugs, which may require dimensional adjustments on the vise itself. Since efficiency is key in automation, maximum space utilization in tight areas is essential. Customers can optionally request the removal of these ports during manufacturing.

Air Control Ports

Pneumatic verification of workpiece seating is a widely used method in industrial applications. While standard air ports on concentric vises are generally used for internal cleaning without disassembly, in automated environments, custom air control ports can be extended all the way to the jaw surface to verify proper part placement.

Clamping Status Confirmation System

In automated systems, electronic verification that the workpiece has been securely clamped is of critical importance. The concentric vise is equipped with an advanced system that can electronically report the clamping status via signal output. This system is not included in standard models and is fully optional and customizable.

Multi-Vise Systems

Customers can request integrated multi-vise systems based on their specific production requirements, combining 3 to 6 vises within a single housing .

Extended Jaw Stroke (Travel Distance)

For easier loading and unloading of workpieces, users can customize an extended jaw stroke distance beyond standard specifications.

Custom Design Concept

Customers have the freedom to reinterpret existing standards and develop entirely new and innovative concentric vise models while maintaining core performance criteria such as precision and repeatability.
