They include features such as stable jaw guidance, open construction for chip flow, and optional customer-specific gripper grooves. The design ensures maximum clamping forces and secure workpiece handling.
Applications: The document highlights the versatility of the MZX series for various applications, including raw material clamping without pre-stamping and clamping of ground materials. The vises are suitable for use in automation systems, pallet handling, and part handling, with integration capabilities for zero-point systems.
Performance and Accuracy: The vises offer high repetition accuracy (0.01 mm) and pairing accuracy (0.03 mm), with adjustable centering accuracy for precise alignment. They are designed to prevent workpiece lifting and ensure even clamping.
Additional Information: The document includes a detailed table of different MZX models, specifying order numbers, dimensions, clamping widths, forces, and weights. It also mentions the availability of further sizes and types upon request.
Conclusion: The MZX series provides a robust and flexible solution for mechanical clamping needs in manufacturing and automation, with a focus on reliability and adaptability to various systems and applications.
