Centering vise solutions
EROWA blank vise
EROWA self-centering vises
Centrally clamping workpieces
In order to produce complete workpieces economically, 5-sided machining in one clamping process is a must. Secondary functions are significantly reduced while virtually eliminating errors during reclamping. Even more benefits are realized when centrally clamping workpieces. The EROWA self centering vises and blank vise combine the many inherent advantages with the well-known efficiency of the EROWA workpiece tooling systems.

EROWA blank vises
A strong connection between clamping element and workpiece is a crucial feature for holding blanks.
With the EROWA blank vise, workpieces are securely clamped with high clamping power at minimum height. The vise features a very compact and robust, but nevertheless light design.
As a workpiece carrier, the blank vise offers the machine tool ideal accessibility to the workpiece. With only 100 mm height, there is plenty of machining space left – even for larger workpieces and on small machines.
THE FACTS
• Powerful blank holding without pre-stamping
• Clamping power up to 35 kN
• Pallet and vise body made of one piece
• Flexible with exchangeable jaws
• Large clamping range 0 - 165 mm
• Precision-ground functional surfaces
• Centering accuracy +/- 0.02 mm
• Repeatability 0.02 mm
• Prepared for automation
• Spindle completely covered and protected against dirt
Thanks to the built-in interface, the blank vise can be clamped in the EROWA PowerChuck P, Production Chuck 210 Combi, and MTS Single Chuck chucks.
Flexible and versatile in use
Depending on requirements, the clamping jaws can be used individually, allowing a large range of different workpiece sizes to be clamped. The blank vise 72 is particularly suitable for small workpieces.
Equipped blank vices loaded in the robot magazine. Blank vises can be automatedthe proportion of productive hours on the machine tool is significantly increased.
The blank vise allows powerful and reliable clamping up to 35 kN.
The blank vise features excellent centering accuracy and repeatability. The workpiece is centrally held by a clamping spindle that is accessible on both sides.
Thanks to the stamping technology, workpieces are held firmly and securely at a clamping height of only 3 mm.
Save setup times and costs – the stamp clamping jaws allow the stamping to take place at the first clamping of the blank. This eliminates the need for pre-stamping on a stamping station.
The clamping jaws can be exchanged and offer a flexible clamping range of up to 165 mm and can be mounted rotated 180°.
Blank vises can be automated - the carrier pallet is prepared for EWIS chip and has a gripper slot. This allows it to be picked up with the appropriate robot gripper.
