Engineered for Precision and Efficiency
The Nextas self-centering vise is a cornerstone of modern CNC machining. We use high-strength alloy steel, precision-ground and heat-treated, to ensure maximum rigidity and durability. Its core self-centering mechanism, driven by a high-precision lead screw, guarantees that the workpiece remains perfectly centered during clamping, which is critical for parts requiring high-precision symmetrical machining.
Modularity and Flexibility
Our vise system supports a wide range of standard and custom jaws, providing the optimal clamping solution for everything from raw castings to finished parts. The quick-change jaw design allows you to reconfigure your setup in minutes, drastically reducing setup time and increasing machine uptime.
Rock-Solid Stability
The vise base is designed for seamless compatibility with our zero-point clamping systems, enabling fast and precise mounting. Once installed, the vise forms a rigid unit with the machine table, effectively dampening vibrations even under high-speed, high-feed cutting conditions to ensure superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
Enhanced Accessibility
The compact and streamlined design provides maximum accessibility to the workpiece, especially in complex 5-axis machining operations. This allows for shorter tool lengths, reducing vibration and improving cutting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered.
How does the self-centering mechanism handle rough or asymmetrical workpieces?
Our vise is engineered with a high-precision, backlash-compensated leadscrew. This ensures that both jaws apply equal force and converge perfectly at the center, regardless of the initial workpiece shape. For rough castings or forgings, we recommend our serrated jaws, which provide exceptional grip, while the centering mechanism guarantees the part's theoretical center is always aligned with the machine's spindle.
What is the recommended maintenance for maintaining the ≤.01mm centering accuracy?
To maintain peak accuracy, we recommend a simple daily cleaning routine to remove chips and coolant from the leadscrew and jaw slides. A weekly application of a light, high-pressure grease to the leadscrew (accessible via the grease nipple) is advised. The vise body is made from HRC 50-55 tool steel for durability, but the precision surfaces should be protected from impact. Regular inspection of jaw integrity is also good practice.
Can this vise be integrated with a zero-point clamping system, and how does it mount?
Yes, it's designed for seamless integration. The vise base features standardized 52mm or 96mm (depending on the model) mounting patterns, making it fully compatible with our own zero-point systems and other common brands. This allows for changeovers in under a minute, drastically reducing setup time while locking the vise to the machine table with extreme rigidity and ±0.002mm repeatability.
You mentioned 'Automation Ready'. What specific features support this?
Automation readiness involves several key features. 1) The vise body includes standardized clamping grooves, allowing robotic grippers to load and unload the entire vise. 2) It is compatible with hydraulic or pneumatic actuation modules for fully automated clamping/unclamping. 3) Its compatibility with zero-point systems is fundamental for automated pallet changing.
Will I experience jaw lift when clamping a workpiece?
Our design specifically mitigates jaw lift. The vise mechanism includes an angular component that pulls the jaws down towards the vise bed as clamping force is applied. This 'pull-down' effect ensures the workpiece is seated flat and securely, preventing lift and vibration, which is crucial for achieving high-precision tolerances and superior surface finishes.
