Several types of the workholding platforms for workholding operations are offered by OK-VISE through its global distribution network. OK-LOCK zero-point positioning system, RPS trunnion unit and Tooling Blocks are some of workholding platforms used in the OK-VISE projects.
By choosing a suitable workholding platform speed of setup changes, stabilty, easy access of tooling and utilization of the machine envelope can be greatly improved.
OK-VISE tooling blocks of different shapes and sizes are typically used in horizontal machining centers (HMC). In vertical machining centers (VMC), OK-LOCK units and indexers with trunnion units like RPS are typical workholding platforms
OK-LOCK is OK-VISE zero-point positioning system that is used for holding sub-plates and workpieces.
OK-LOCK is operated by admitting compressed air (6 bar) into the positioning modules setting them to a Release position, in which sub-plates can be inserted or removed easily.
Examples of the OK-LOCK positioning elements application
Integrated in tooling blocks
On the machine table of the vertical machining centres
Integrated fourth axis
Fastening the fourth axis in the trunnion unit such as RPS
Use of spigots to clamp the workpiece directly
