Let’s work through your next setup.
Start with your machine model and a photo of the setup. Tell us where time is being lost; we can work from there and request drawings as the layout takes shape.
- 01Define the working layoutShare your machine model and part requirements. We review datum locations, tool access, mounting and the loads the fixture needs to support.
- 02Agree the inspection planReview the selected hardware against your accuracy requirements, then confirm the inspection method, acceptance criteria and required documentation.
- 03Compare a clear quotationReview the hardware, accessories, inspection and delivery scope, with pricing and estimated lead time. Include a target budget if available to help compare suitable standard and custom options.

Ditching the Riser Block: How an Integrated-Elevation 5-Axis Vise Solved Tool Chatter on Titanium Aerospace Brackets
By replacing stacked riser setups with a single-piece elevated NEXTAS self-centering vise, this 5-axis job shop shortened tool stick-out by 40%, eliminated harmonic chatter, and cut raw billet waste using a 3.5-mm serrated bite.

Scaling the "One Datum Strategy": Why This Precision Shop Standardized on 20 Identical Self-Centering Vises in a Single Rollout
Every offline pallet becomes a new setup when the vises do not match. Different jaw heights and centerlines mean a fresh set of offsets every time that pallet reaches the machine. A matched set of 20 NEXTAS self-centering vises puts this 5-axis cell on one jaw height and one centerline, so the next pallet is built while the spindle keeps cutting. The machine model and how many pallets you run are enough to start.

Existing tooling, interface fit and your next setup
01Can I keep my existing pallets, holders and pull studs?
Send your current model numbers, drawings or setup photos. Our engineers will identify which components can be retained, recommend matching hardware and outline any changes, so you can plan the upgrade before ordering.
02How do I check a match with an EROWA, System 3R or LANG setup?
Share your current tooling model and interface drawing. We will review the mating dimensions, pull studs and working height, then provide selection advice for your setup.
03Where should I start if I want shorter changeovers?
Start with the setup step that costs the most machine time. Share your machine model, part, production volume and any target budget. Our engineers can compare standard and custom options, develop the fixture concept and manufacture the hardware, with the inspection scope defined in your quote. Detailed drawings can follow as the layout develops.
04What is the repeatability of your zero-point systems?
Selected zero-point system series publish repeatability down to <0.003 mm. The applicable inspection method, acceptance criteria, and measurement records are confirmed for the quoted model and project before order.
05What materials are your core components made from and what is their hardness?
Material, heat treatment and hardness vary by model and component. Send us the model and component number so our engineers can check the selected drawing and available material, heat-treatment and inspection records with you.
06How does the self-cleaning function work in your automation chucks?
On selected E-Series chuck configurations equipped with air-blast channels, compressed air clears chips and coolant from the seating interfaces during unclamping. Confirm that the selected model includes this function and meets your air-supply requirements.
07For 5-axis machining of thin-walled or delicate parts, what workholding do you recommend?
Dovetail fixtures can provide five-side tool access with a small gripping area. Confirm the selected model-specific dovetail geometry, stock allowance, clamping load and part-distortion limits against your drawing and machining process.
08How does the self-centering vise maintain accuracy over time?
The catalogue lists repeat-clamping accuracy below 0.02 mm for the S52/S96 series. Follow the selected model’s maintenance instructions and recheck the datum after jaw changes or abnormal readings; agree the measurement method and acceptance criteria for your setup.
09Is this website related to NEXTAS CO., LTD?
Yes. This is the dedicated international website for NEXTAS workholding solutions, engineering support and manufacturing capabilities.
