Enclosed Mechanical Centric Vices

Repetition Accuracy of 5 micron
Extremely High Clamp Forces
Low wear due to Nitrogen Hardened Surfaces
Can be Adapted to suit other manufacturers Zero Point Systems

Enclosed Mechanical Centric Vices. BEST mechanical centric vices are a no compromise solution to varying 4th and 5th axis work. BEST have focused on the production of excellent accuracy, high rigidity vices. These vices are well suited to both internal and external clamping. They offer very high clamping forces and repeatability of 0.005mm and a centring accuracy of 0.01mm. The mechanical vices can be converted to RPCG type to suit the BEST Realpoint Zero Point System The BSMG range have been designed with an enclosed lead screw to reduce maintenance time.
BEST Enclosed Mechanical Centric Vices BSMG
BEST Enclosed Mechanical Centric Vices BSMG provide accurate and repeatable workholding for CNC machining applications. The enclosed design protects the internal mechanism while the centric clamping system helps position workpieces consistently.

The BSMG range offers a practical solution for CNC milling, production machining and applications where reliable workholding is important. Mechanical operation also means that no hydraulic power supply is required.
Enclosed Design for CNC Workholding
The enclosed construction helps protect the internal clamping mechanism from machining chips, coolant and contamination. This can help support reliable operation in demanding workshop environments.

At the same time, the centric clamping system positions the workpiece towards the centre of the vice. Therefore, operators can achieve consistent positioning during repeated machining cycles.

The enclosed design is particularly useful for CNC machine shops where workholding equipment must operate reliably in the presence of chips and coolant.
Accurate Centric Clamping
The BSMG range uses mechanical centric clamping to hold components securely. The jaws move towards the centre, helping maintain consistent workpiece positioning.

As a result, operators can reduce the need for repeated manual alignment. This can make machine setup simpler and improve consistency during batch production.

Centric workholding is well suited to a broad selection of machining operations, including:

CNC milling
Drilling
Tapping
Profiling
Slotting
Roughing
Finishing
Batch production
Multi-operation machining

Mechanical Workholding for CNC Machines
Mechanical clamping provides a straightforward workholding solution without the need for hydraulic equipment. This makes the BSMG range easy to integrate into many CNC machine setups.

Operators can manually clamp and release components during setup and production. Furthermore, the mechanical design provides flexibility for workshops that regularly change between different machining jobs.

Reliable mechanical clamping can help simplify machine setup while providing consistent workpiece positioning.
Well suited to Production Machining
Repeatable workholding becomes increasingly important when producing multiple components. Centric clamping helps operators position workpieces consistently between machining cycles.

The enclosed construction can also help protect the mechanism from the working environment. This makes the BSMG range well suited to production applications where coolant and machining debris are present.

For batch production, dependable workholding can help reduce setup adjustments and maintain consistent machining conditions.
4th and 5th Axis Machining
The compact design of enclosed centric vices can be useful for 4th and 5th axis machining. Secure clamping helps maintain the workpiece position while providing useful access for multi-axis machining operations.

This can be particularly valuable when machining complex components from several sides.

Therefore, the BSMG range can form part of a flexible workholding system for CNC machine tools and multi-axis machining centres.
Flexible CNC Workholding
Different workpieces require different workholding arrangements. The BSMG range provides a flexible mechanical solution for workshops machining a selection of components.

Suitable jaw configurations can help adapt the vice to different workpieces and applications. In addition, the centric design supports consistent positioning when components require several machining operations.

This makes the range well suited to both individual components and repeat production.
