High-Precision Pneumatic Vise

Engineered for Automated Production

The Nextas high-precision pneumatic vise is a powerful clamping device developed for automated machining and mass production. Its built-in pneumatic-hydraulic booster system generates a strong and stable clamping force using standard factory air pressure. It is ideal for automated loading and unloading with robotic arms, making it an indispensable tool for building automated production lines and increasing efficiency.

Core Advantages

  • Powerful Boosted Clamping Force: Generates up to 4000 kgf, easily handling various heavy-duty cutting tasks.
  • Fast and Stable Actuation: Achieves rapid opening and closing in seconds, significantly reducing machining cycle time.
  • High Integrability: Links with machine tool's M-code via a solenoid valve for easy integration and unmanned operation.
  • Robust and Durable Construction: Made of high-tensile ductile iron (FCD60) with heat-treated surfaces for long-term accuracy.

Pneumatic-Hydraulic Booster Technology

The core of the Nextas pneumatic vise is its innovative "pneumatic-to-hydraulic conversion" booster technology. Compressed air pushes a large-area piston, which pressurizes a small-area hydraulic chamber. According to Pascal's principle, this amplifies the air pressure by several tens of times, generating powerful hydraulic clamping force. This design combines the rapid response of pneumatics with the powerful locking of hydraulics, operating with only a standard air source and simplifying system configuration.

Designed for Harsh Environments

The Nextas pneumatic vise features a fully sealed design to prevent contaminants like chips and coolant from entering the internal mechanism. The vise body, integrally cast from FCD60 high-tensile ductile iron, absorbs cutting vibrations, ensuring machining stability and a superior workpiece surface finish.

Flexible Installation and Application

The precision-ground base with standard keyways and mounting holes allows for quick, accurate installation on various machining center T-slot tables. It can also be combined with our zero-point clamping system to achieve even faster fixture changeovers, further enhancing production efficiency and flexibility.
