Center-clamping vise MZC

for machine tools5-axis machine toolhorizontal

The mechanical self-centering vises of the MZC series feature a fully enclosed, sealed, massive and torsion-resistant design. The closed construction minimizes cleaning effort, contamination-related malfunctions and chip accumulation inside the vise.

The large clamping range and high clamping force enable universal and flexible use on multi-axis machining centers. The enclosed design also offers significant advantages for 3-axis and horizontal machining centers.
The optimized compact design and the wide range of jaw variants provide maximum accessibility to the workpiece and allow adaptation to various machine concepts and customer requirements.

The mounting hole pattern on the underside enables easy integration into standard palletizing and quick-change systems. Fully integrated versions for pallet systems such as System 3R, EROWA, HIRSCHMANN or ZeroClamp are available on request.

The MZC series is suitable for both raw and pre-machined workpieces and can be used for first and second clamping operations.
