New Quick Change Vice Workholding Pallet System
Our vice quick change pallet system uses your existing CNC milling vice and transforms it into an affordable pallet quick change work holding unit. Simply replace your existing vice jaws with our hardened self centering dovetailed jaws and quickly swap out our machinable pallets for fast part swapping and little machine downtime. This system offers solid part holding with great rigidity and great repeatability without the need to spend thousands of dollars on expensive pneumatic or hydraulic workholding pallets systems. When installed properly by sliding the pallet into the v groove fixed jaw and torqueing it down at the same rate you can achieve .0005" or less repeatability.
What is the advantage of using Palleted Workholding?
When it comes to production machining quick change pallet workholding is the most cost efficient method to achieve maximum production with minimal machine downtime. Here are some advantages to our quick change high capacity pallet system.
- The #1 reason is almost nonstop cnc runtime. You can have two or more pallets of the same parts and quickly change out one set of parts and remove individual parts while the new pallet is clamped down in very little time and machining process is underway.
- Allows you to place many parts in a small area therefore enabling you to machine more parts with a single tool and save on tool change time.
- Makes setup quick by allowing you to make the program from the pallet center or edge and making it necessary to only indicate once.
- Enables you to machine the pallet and hold difficult to hold parts using fixture clamps.
- Gives you larger work holding area by extending a single vice or double vice to hold hundred of parts over the entire surface of your machine table.
