Product catalog summary
Introduction
OK-VISE is known for its wedge-operated low-profile clamps, which provide a compact and powerful clamping solution. These clamps enhance tool access, reduce machine stop times, and extend cycle times, making them ideal for maximizing the use of fixturing platforms.
OK-VISE Low-Profile Clamps
The clamps are more space-efficient than traditional machine vises and come in various jaw types, including smooth, serrated, machinable, and self-adjustable, making them versatile for different machining applications.
Fixturing Concept
OK-VISE offers a comprehensive fixturing concept that includes clamp modules, end stoppers, riser blocks, and side guides. This concept supports both dedicated and generic-purpose fixturing systems, such as the Multi-Rail and Grid systems.
Multi-Rail System
The Multi-Rail RM and RH systems are designed for generic-purpose workholding, allowing for the machining of complex workpieces with minimal setups. They support multiple and large workpieces, offering modularity and flexibility.
Combo-Rail System
This patent-pending system offers multiple operating modes: floating, centralizing, and machine vise modes, making it particularly useful for clamping irregular workpieces like castings and forgings.
Grid Fixturing System
Designed for use with grid platforms, this system allows for the clamping of complex workpiece forms and can be combined with components from other suppliers.
Blank Fixturing System
Ideal for high-volume production, this system uses blank plates as a platform for building dedicated fixtures, including various clamp and stopper modules for reliable clamping.
Hydraulic Clamping
OK-VISE has introduced hydraulic actuators that enhance the clamping force and accuracy of their clamps. These actuators are suitable for both automated and manual workpiece loading and can be retrofitted to existing fixtures.
Sub-Plates and Platforms
Sub-plates facilitate quick fixture setup changes and maximize machine output. OK-VISE also offers workholding platforms like tooling blocks and zero-point positioning systems.
Conclusion
OK-VISE provides versatile and efficient clamping and fixturing solutions suitable for a wide range of machining applications, enhancing productivity and flexibility in manufacturing processes.

OK-VISE LOW-PROFILE CLAMPS As the original inventor of the wedge-operated low-profile clamp, OK-VISE is still going strong. The OK-VISE clamping method is both an effective and time-saving solution because it allows full utilization of the fixturing platform. It also allows free tool access to the workpiece, is free of play and possesses extreme clamping force in a small space. Efficient use of the machinable area leads to savings in tool changes, creates less operator interventions and results ultimately in extended cycle times while cutting down machine stop times. Low-profile clamps do not...

MU LTI -R A I L R H s ystem APPLICATIO N S In a modular system all the functions of a fixture are sepateted divided into individual modules. This means that when workpiece material, form or size changes, the modules of the fixture can be changed independently of each other. Using a well-chosen collection of basic modules – a set – a huge variety of workpieces can be clamped simply using the same modules. We also offer installation sets for the most typical platforms like T-slot tables and grid systems.

O K - V I S E Combo- RAIL OK-VISE Combo-Rail is a unique patent-pending design from us. There are several operating modes available: Floating mode • This is the most fascinating operating mode of the Combo-Rail. Here the fixture adjusts to the place of the workpiece. • This is often needed while clamping inaccurate workpieces like castings, forgings or flame cut work pieces. • Therefore floating mode installation normally needs positioning with some other means, like two Multi-Rail units, positioning pins, positioning by a robot etc. Centralising mode • The jaws move synchronously. The centre...
