5-Axis Dovetail Vise

Runsom 5-Axis Dovetail Vise features a simple and compact all-steel design. They reduce the distortion of parts and require very little material (0.060” or less) to clamp.

Features & Specifications:

  • Material: 1018 Steel
  • Flat & parallel within 0.002″/ft. (0.05mm)
  • Hardened bushings & center locator pin included

Custom sizes and configurations are available on request.

Operation:

Cutting a 10° angle in the bottom surface of a machinable part allows for extremely high clamping forces while leaving all five sides accessible. The heavy-duty version has higher torque and tilting moments than the standard dovetail vise.

5-Axis Block Dovetail Vise

Runsom 5-Axis Block Dovetail Vise mounts directly to rotary tables or any QLS(Quick Locating System) Grid. They reduce the distortion of parts and require 0.060″ or less material to clamp.

Features & Specifications:

  • Material: 1018 Steel
  • Flat & parallel within 0.002″/ft. (0.05mm)
  • Hardened bushings included

Custom sizes and configurations are available on request.

Operation:

Cutting a 10° angle in the bottom surface of a machinable part allows for extremely high clamping forces while leaving all five sides accessible.

Self-Centering Vise

Runsom Self-Centering Vises is suitable for many clamping tasks on 5-Axis machining centers and pallet systems. Whether the workpieces are angular or round, the concentric clamping system provides the same zero position.

The compact design, high stability, and versatile selection of jaws (grip jaws, plain jaws, soft jaws, pendulum jaws, V-Type jaws) are additional features tailored for 5-Axis machining.

Features & Specifications:

  • The 40, 60, 100, and 125 clamping systems are suitable for 1.D. to 0.D. clamping.
  • Designed for 5-Axis machining
  • Free access to the workpiece, allowing the use of short standard tools
  • Simple, robust construction, smooth surfaces for easy cleaning
  • Also suitable as a module for standard devices
  • Comprehensive jaw selection
  • Hex wrench included

Custom sizes and configurations are available on request.
