Product catalog summary
Company Profile
OK-VISE Oy, founded in 1984 and located in Central Finland, specializes in low-profile clamps for industries such as metalworking, plastics, aerospace, and electronics. Known for their innovative clamping solutions, the company offers products that enable three-directional machining with high clamping force and efficiency. Their products are globally distributed and recognized for quality and reliability.
Operating Principle
OK-VISE clamps expand when tightened, pressing workpieces against guides to prevent movement. These compact yet powerful clamps offer a clamping force up to 150 kN and are suitable for both single machines and large manufacturing systems. Made from hardened tool steel, they come in various models, including single and double-wedge constructions.
Core Component of Modern Workholding Systems
The clamps are adaptable to systems like grid patterns, T-slot tables, and serrated rails, making them ideal for modern machining applications, including 5-axis machining. Their design ensures stability and eliminates measurement errors due to sliding.
Product Variants and Features
  • Additional Piece Models: Feature machined female threadings for easy attachment of additional pieces.
  • Machinable Jaws: Available with extended jaws customizable to fit workpiece geometry.
  • Self-Adjustable Models: Include a self-adjustable ball pressure screw for flexible clamping of irregular shapes.
  • Stainless Steel Model: Designed for wire EDM applications, made entirely of stainless steel.
  • Inch Models: Designed for half-inch bolts, with wider center holes for compatibility.
  • Pull-Down Models: Provide additional pull-down action to secure workpieces.
  • Serrated and Smooth Jaws: Offer options for high friction or mark-free clamping.
  • Economy Models: Cost-effective options for applications not requiring ultra precision.

OK-VISE The Only Original Wedge-clamp-4

General-purpose clamp for your workshop. Serration creates high friction, which ensures reliable clamping in any circumstances. When no marks on the workpieces are allowed, smooth jaws are used. In addition to holding the workpiece in place, pull-down clamps also generate pull-down action, pressing workpieces down onto the fixture base. MACHINABLE JAWS Single-wedge clamps are also available with extended jaws and can be machined to suit the geometry of the workpiece. The smallest model can be machined up to 3 mm and the larger ones up to 5 mm. ADDITIONAL PIECE MODELS Additional piece models have...
