5-Axis Vises
Achieve Obstruction-Free Machining with Our 5-Axis Workholding Systems
Mascot Workholding offers a full line of 5-axis vise and quick-change pallet options to give you maximum
flexibility and clamping force with your 5-axis machinery. Designed for obstruction-free machining on five sides of a
workpiece, Mascot high precision 5-axis vises are highly effective for working with complex shapes and difficult angles
and increase machining accuracy, reduce setup times, and reduce tooling costs and labor hours. New Mascot quick-change
pallets are designed around industry-standard 96 and 52 mm pull-stud mounting patterns.
Small, compact and with impressive holding force - these are probably the most important attributes of our
5-Axis Vise. The centering vise is always used in industrial production when raw parts made of materials such as aluminum,
steel, titanium or Inconel are to be reliably fixed by means of a clamping jaw serration. But smooth clamping is also
possible with the 5-axis vise, which can hold components centrically on a clamping depth of only 3 mm. With its clamping
jaws milled from solid material and its case-hardened base body, the 5-Axis Vise also masters the particularly demanding
tasks in 5-sided machining.
The machine vise is mounted directly on the machine table or on NC rotary tables using a zero point clamping
system. However, it can also be mounted on tombstones, clamping bridges or pallets. There, the wear-free centering vise hold
the components without distortion by form-fit and with low clamping pressure.
Equipped with compatible clamping jaws for a wide variety of designs, the centering vise can also clamp cylindrical
or irregularly shaped components. The necessary changeover from serrated to other clamping jaws can be carried out within a few seconds
with this centering vise, thus ensuring flexibility in the process and high performance at the same time
Due to its compact design, the use of short tools is possible. The effect: low-vibration milling processes and a
significantly increased tool life. Higher cutting and feed rates also result in shorter production times and a reduction in production
costs. Another positive consequence of the low vibrations: first-class component and surface quality.
Thanks to its clean design, the 5-Axis Vise presents itself to the user not only with very good accessibility from all
sides. Another important aspect is that the centering vise can also hold workpieces which are clamped upright and fix them on the shortest
side surfaces thanks to its high holding forces: In machining production, this is a significant plus in efficiency, as changeover processes
can be eliminated
And not only that: The solid 5-Axis Vise also shows itself to be enormously flexible, as the vise can be used universally
in all milling machines. From 3-axis machines to 5-axis machines to rotary tables - the vise is available with jaw widths of 46 / 77 / 125
mm and a maximum clamping range of 355 mm. For anything larger, two or more of the 5-Axis Vises can be combined easily.
All this makes the 5-Axis Vise "Made in Germany" the perfect machine vise for 5-axis machining and thus the model for a
large number of other vises whose manufacturers are inspired by its function and design.
Examples of machine tools on which the MASCOT 5-Axis Vise are often used: Hermle, DMG Mori, Grob, Matsuura, Mazak, Haas,
Makino, and many others.
