Electromechanical centre-clamping vise EZC

Due to the electric operation of this centre-clamping vise series the clamping process can be shortened or completely automated by the use of industrial robots.Energy-efficient production – that is the trend in mechanical engineering. To optimize the manufacturing environment it is seeked to replace fluid-driven components within the machine tool or production system by electromechanical components.

Electromechanical components aremore energy efficient than pneumatically or hydraulically operated systems. In the field of workpiece clamping technology electrically driven compressors or aggregates had to generate so far air or oil pressure continuously to hold or clamp workpieces during machining securely.

Electromechanical centre-clamping vises require only energy when fixing or loosening the workpiece. Pneumatic and hydraulic clamping technology is still justified, however, electromechanical systems open up opportunities, which can bring the user significant advantages.
