A precision grinding vise is a jig used on a machine tool to grip and fix a workpiece. The term "precision" is used because it is intended for use on a machine tool and enables high-precision parallelism of the material to be fixed.
Precision grinding vises, also called "machine vises," are manufactured to maintain parallelism of various contact surfaces, such as parallelism with the base surface of the machine tool to which they are attached, parallelism between the fixed and movable end caps of the main body, and parallelism with the sliding surface of the movable end cap.
Precision grinding vises are used on various types of machine tools, such as cutting machines, milling machines, and machining centers. Since the size of the workpiece varies with the machine tool of the same type, the most suitable precision device is selected for each machine tool.
As it is said that the machining accuracy of a machine tool is affected by the parallelism accuracy of the precision device, various types are manufactured according to the size of the workpiece and the machine tool, and it is important to choose the right type for each application.
The selection criteria for precision grinding vises are as follows:
