Multiflex modular vise are fixtures used on machine tools such as milling machines, drilling machines, machining centers, etc., which can simultaneously hold multiple workpieces and significantly improve machining efficiency. The following is a detailed introduction to multi station flat pliers:

1. Structure and Characteristics

-Multi station design: Usually there are 2, 3, 4 or even more stations, which can simultaneously clamp multiple workpieces through parallel jaws.

-  Synchronous clamping mechanism  : All jaws move synchronously through linkage screws or hydraulic/pneumatic systems to ensure even distribution of clamping force.

-High rigidity material: The clamp body is mostly made of cast iron or alloy steel, and the jaws are hardened by heat treatment, wear-resistant and deformation resistant.

-  Adjustable  : Some models support adjusting the spacing between workstations to accommodate workpieces of different sizes.

2. Main types

-  Mechanical multi station flat pliers  :

-By manually rotating the screw to drive the jaws, it is economical and practical, suitable for small and medium-sized production.   

-Hydraulic/pneumatic multi station flat pliers:

-High degree of automation, fast clamping speed, suitable for large-scale or automated production lines.   

-Modular multi station flat pliers:

-The number and layout of workstations can be customized to flexibly meet complex processing needs.

3. Advantages

-Efficiency improvement: clamping multiple workpieces at once, reducing material change time.   

-High consistency: Synchronous clamping ensures consistent positioning accuracy of the workpiece.   

-  Space saving  : More compact than single station pliers, optimizing the utilization rate of machine tool workbenches.   

-  Strong compatibility  : Suitable for standard machine tool T-slots, easy to install.

4. Application scenarios

-Batch processing: milling and drilling of small parts such as flanges, connecting rods, gaskets, etc.   

-  Precision machining  : Achieving multi-faceted machining with a dividing head or rotating table.   

-Automated production line: Integrated with robotic arms or feeding systems to achieve unmanned production.

5. Key selection points

-Number of workstations: Select based on the number and size of workpieces.   

-Clamping force: It is necessary to match the machining cutting force to avoid loosening of the workpiece.   

-  Opening size  : Ensure that the maximum workpiece thickness is within the range of the jaw stroke.   

-Accuracy level: For high-precision machining, it is necessary to choose a model with high repeatability accuracy (such as ± 0.01mm).

6. Maintenance and Precautions

-  Regular lubrication  : Keep the screw or guide rail moving smoothly.   

-  Avoid overload  : Overloading clamping may cause deformation of the clamp body.   

-  Clean the jaws  : prevent chip accumulation from affecting clamping accuracy
