Use P75 for compact blanks

For smaller parts, tight robot access, or a table with little space.

Use P110 for the middle ground

For general CNC work and mixed families that need more range and force than P75, and a smaller body than P150.

Use P150 for heavier cuts

The largest family is the right starting point for larger workpieces, stronger roughing loads, and more demanding automation cells.

Selection & Automation Integration Guide

A checklist for choosing a pneumatic self-centering vise and putting it on a robot cell, a pallet, or a high-mix line.

Choose this powered family when the workpiece clamping step needs pneumatic or hydraulic actuation. The S52/S96 5-axis self-centering vise uses a manual leadscrew and prioritizes compact five-side tool access.

Need faster changeovers? Mount the vise on a zero-point clamping plate or a pneumatic zero-point plate to reduce setup time.

Optional details for the configuration review

Start with the part and machine information you have. Our team can help confirm the remaining engineering inputs.

  • Machine and supply: machine model, VMC/HMC/lathe layout, table air ports and available pneumatic or hydraulic supply.
  • Part and jaws: workpiece shape, material and hardness, clamping range, jaw width and cutting loads.
  • Production plan: cycle-time target, batch size, preferred actuation, multi-vise mounting and robot or pallet integration.
  • Part family & jaw strategy: match jaw width/opening to your parts; use hard jaws for repeatable clamping and soft jaws for custom profiles (bore in-place for best concentricity).
  • Clamping force vs cutting plan: validate force requirements for high-feed roughing, deep pockets, and interrupted cuts; select the pneumatic V1 or hydraulic V2 model and validate the supply circuit; the catalog does not establish a universal built-in booster.
  • Repeatability targets: protect ≤0.01 mm repeatability by keeping jaw seats clean, controlling torque, and standardizing locating surfaces across pallets/fixtures.
  • Mounting & referencing: use keyways/bolt patterns for quick alignment; combine with palletized automation (HMC/APC) for lights-out operation.
  • Automation I/O: Specify clamp/unclamp commands and pressure or position feedback. Validate motion permissions and fault response in the complete cell.

Jaw Options & Part Strategy

Choose jaws based on how you want to locate the part (OD/ID, flats, or custom profile) and how often you will change part families.

Selection & Automation Integration Guide
JawBest forTip
Hard jawsRepeatable clamping in automation and pallet workKeep seats clean; use locating keys to protect ≤0.01 mm repeatability.
Soft jaws (bore in place)Custom profiles, thin walls, cosmetic surfacesBore at clamp pressure used in production to reduce spring-back errors.
Serrated / grip jawsRough blanks and heavy roughingUse only where witness marks are acceptable; verify part pull-out risk.
V-block or prism jawsRound stock (shafts, bushings, cylinders)Pair with part-present sensing for reliable robot loading.
Fixture jaws / nestsMulti-part loading and takt-time optimizationDesign for chip evacuation; avoid coolant pools that affect seating.

Automation commands & process feedback

Separate the controller command from the state measured on the selected vise and workpiece.

Control commands & cleaning

Clamp command
Purpose
Initiates clamp cycle
Typical implementation
PLC output → solenoid valve (5/2 or 3/2), with exhaust silencer.
Unclamp command
Purpose
Opens jaws for loading
Typical implementation
Separate solenoid channel; door and E-stop behavior belongs to the validated cell control and safety design.
Chip-blow / seat cleaning
Purpose
Adds a cleaning step before seating verification
Typical implementation
Timed air blast + coolant management to keep jaw seats clean.

Process-state feedback

Clamp-OK confirmation
Purpose
Reports the measured clamp state to the control sequence
Typical implementation
Pressure or position feedback to CNC/robot logic; validate sensing coverage and fault behavior for the selected cell.
Air pressure monitoring
Purpose
Detects regulator drift or supply loss
Typical implementation
Regulator + gauge; optional transducer for trend monitoring.
Workpiece presence sensing
Purpose
Detects whether a workpiece is present; full seating requires separate validation
Typical implementation
Inductive/optical sensor or robot vision before clamping; verify coverage with the actual part, sensor arrangement and complete cell.

Verify the complete cell

  • Validate presence and full seating separately for the selected part geometry, jaw contact and sensing arrangement.
  • Ordinary pressure, position and presence signals provide process information. Any safety function requires a complete-cell risk assessment and validated protective measures.
  • Verify fault response, safe state, reset and recovery for the actual cell before production release.

Where the Vise Fits in Production

Review the application matrix below for the machine, production volume, jaws and control checks that apply to your setup. Part tolerance still depends on the jaw contact, workpiece and machining process.

Pneumatics, Setup & Maintenance

Stable air supply and basic housekeeping are what keep a pneumatic vise predictable in automation. Use this as a quick commissioning + upkeep checklist. For pneumatic models, use the air-flow and FRL sizing guide to check simultaneous demand and pressure at the fixture inlet.

For the jaw-fit and clamp-force check, see Pneumatic CNC Vise Selection: Jaw Fit & Clamp Force.
Pneumatic vise render beside an air line: P0 before preparation, P1 after preparation, and P2 at the fixture after valve and tube. Four overlapping stroke bars show why demand must be assessed within the same window.
Measure pressure during the overlap Log P0 before air preparation, P1 after it and P2 at the fixture port during the worst overlap. The four event bars illustrate overlapping strokes, not measured consumption or a flow curve. Use the exact device and component curves; oil is permitted only when the device manual allows it. The product render establishes no air demand or pressure-drop result. Open full-size engineering diagram
  • Air quality: use clean, dry, filtered air (FRL). Keep air supply consistent to avoid cycle-to-cycle variation.
  • Pressure setting: use 0.5–0.8 MPa for V1 pneumatic models or 6 MPa for V2 hydraulic models; confirm the circuit and delivered pressure at the selected vise.
  • Hose routing: keep lines short, avoid leaks, and consider quick exhaust where faster actuation helps throughput.
  • Commissioning: run repeated clamp/unclamp cycles, verify jaw parallelism, and record clamp time as a baseline for future checks.
  • Routine care: remove chips/coolant from sealing areas, inspect wipers/seals, and periodically verify repeatability with a gauge block or reference part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the P75, P110, and P150 vises fit repeat CNC production?

For repeated CNC loading, P75, P110 and P150 come in pneumatic V1 and hydraulic V2 versions. Start with the part, cutting load and available supply to choose the body size and jaws. Use the integration guide to specify feedback, interlocks and cell acceptance for automated loading.

What are the key specifications?

Compare the six models in the P75 / P110 / P150 specifications. The table lists the actuation, working pressure, repeatable clamping accuracy, force, adjustment range and weight for each exact model. Select the V1 pneumatic or V2 hydraulic supply circuit for the model you choose.

Which machines or use cases is it compatible with?

Compatibility with a CNC machining center, milling machine or pallet system depends on the mounting drawing, load, stack height, fluid connections, clearances and control interfaces. Confirm the selected vise and both sides of any ITS or zero-point interface; the family name alone does not establish compatibility.

How is it installed or mounted?

Compare the selected model drawing with the machine table or pallet before defining keys, mounting holes, locating pins and pneumatic or hydraulic connections. Verify fastening, alignment, working pressure and clamp-state feedback during commissioning.

Where can I get CAD files or technical documentation?

For a P75, P110, or P150 vise, say whether you need the V1 air body or the V2 hydraulic body, plus the jaw drawing and the mounting face. We confirm the STEP, IGES or 2D files available for that configuration and list them in the quotation. Contact us

Can I keep this centering vise and choose shop air or hydraulic?

A key advantage is that this vise family gives you both pneumatic and hydraulic choices in the same centering-vise format. That lets you balance plant utilities, target clamping force, and automation simplicity without changing the overall workholding concept.

What is the repeatability of this vise?

Catalog-listed P75 / P110 / P150 models are specified at <0.01 mm repeatable clamping accuracy, which supports consistent automated changeovers.

What should I send for a pneumatic or hydraulic centering vise RFQ?

Start with the part, machine and available supply information you know. We can help confirm the body size, jaws, actuation and sensing needs during the configuration review, then confirm which drawings and CAD are available.
