Custom Precision Workholding Solution by Karvi Engineering & Consultancy
The Clamping Vice for Cutting Machine is a robust, precision-engineered workholding solution developed by Karvi Engineering & Consultancy for secure, reliable clamping of components during cutting, sawing, and general toolroom machining operations.
Designed for applications where conventional standard vices may not provide the required rigidity, mounting flexibility, or workpiece accommodation, this custom-built clamping vice combines a heavy-duty steel-alloy structure, precision jaw arrangement, smooth mechanical spindle operation, guided movement, and flexible machine mounting.
The vice can be customized according to the cutting machine, workpiece geometry, clamping range, and specific production requirements.
Product Overview
This custom clamping vice is specially designed for tool rooms, cutting machines, job shops, workshops, and industrial production environments where accurate and repeatable workpiece positioning is essential.
The rigid base construction provides a stable platform for cutting operations, while the guided movable jaw mechanism ensures controlled and consistent clamping. Replaceable precision jaw plates provide reliable workpiece contact and can be adapted for different component geometries.
The current catalogue design has an approximate overall size of 430 mm × 150 mm × 125 mm and a mass of approximately 23.51 kg. The assembly includes a base, jaw plates, a vice spindle, a guide arrangement, and machine-mounting slots.
Key Features
Heavy-Duty Construction
Robust construction designed to provide the rigidity required for industrial cutting and tool-room applications.
Steel Alloy Construction
Major components are manufactured using suitable steel alloys, selected according to the mechanical strength, wear resistance, and application requirements.
Electroless Nickel Plating
Selected components are provided with Electroless Nickel Plating for improved surface protection, corrosion resistance, wear characteristics, and a professional finish.
Precision Clamping
The rigid jaw arrangement provides secure workpiece holding to minimize unwanted movement during cutting operations.
Hardened Catcher – 60 HRC
The catcher is hardened to approximately 60 HRC, providing enhanced wear resistance for repeated industrial use.
Replaceable Jaw Plates
The jaw plates are designed to be replaceable, allowing easier maintenance and adaptation to different workpiece requirements.
Precision Ground Jaw Surfaces
The clamping surfaces can be precision finished to support accurate and repeatable component positioning.
Mechanical Vice Spindle
A mechanically operated vice spindle provides simple, dependable, and controlled clamping without the need for pneumatic or hydraulic power.
Square Drive Operation
The spindle incorporates a square-drive arrangement for convenient manual operation using a suitable tool.
Guided Jaw Movement
The guide-rod arrangement supports controlled movement of the movable jaw and helps maintain alignment during opening and closing.
Flexible Machine Mounting
Longitudinal mounting slots allow the vice assembly to be positioned and secured according to the cutting machine’s mounting arrangement.
Compact, Low-Profile Design
The compact construction provides good rigidity while helping maintain practical access to the workpiece and cutting area.
Customizable Design
The complete vice can be modified according to:
- Workpiece size
- Round, square, rectangular, or irregular components
- Required jaw opening
- Jaw width and height
- Base length and width
- Machine mounting pattern
- Cutting machine configuration
- Special jaw profiles
- Replaceable soft or hardened jaws
- Production cycle requirements
