DOVE TAIL MACHINE VICE
The dove tail machine vice is a specialized heavy-duty clamping device designed specifically for use with Vertical Machining Centers (VMC). It is engineered to provide a secure, rigid hold on the workpiece, ensuring that there is no lifting or movement during the machining process. This stability is crucial for achieving high precision and safety in milling, drilling, and other machining operations.

Dove tail Machine Vice for VMC Machines : Heavy Duty precision work holding solution
Typically made from robust materials such as mild steel or cast iron, the dove tail machine vice is built to withstand the rigors of heavy machining workloads. The solid construction minimizes vibrations and enhances the overall rigidity of the setup, which is essential for precision machining. The vice features dovetail-shaped jaws that provide a unique clamping mechanism. This design allows the jaws to grip the workpiece securely by engaging with matching dovetail slots or surfaces on the component. The dovetail geometry ensures a high clamping force without damaging the workpiece, preventing any lifting or shifting during machining. One of the most critical advantages of the dove tail vice is its ability to prevent the workpiece from lifting or floating during machining. This is achieved by the pull-down clamping action inherent in the dovetail design, which presses the workpiece firmly down onto the machine table, ensuring absolute stability.

The offers excellent repeatability, with some models providing clamping accuracy within 0.02mm. This precision is vital for complex machining tasks, especially in die and mold making, aerospace, and automotive industries where tight tolerances are mandatory. While primarily used on VMC machines, dove tail machine vices are suitable for various machining operations including milling, grinding, and electro-erosion. They can securely hold materials such as metal, plastic, and composites, making them versatile for different manufacturing needs. The vice typically includes a handle or screw mechanism that allows the movable jaw to open and close, accommodating different sizes and shapes of workpieces. The clamping force can be controlled precisely, often with the help of a torque wrench to ensure consistent and reproducible clamping pressure. The dove tail machine vice is an indispensable tool for VMC machining, combining heavy-duty strength with precision clamping. Its unique dovetail jaw design ensures that the workpiece remains firmly in place without lifting, enabling high-quality, accurate machining operations. Ideal for demanding industrial applications, this vice enhances productivity, precision, and safety on the shop floor. This makes the dove tail machine vice a preferred choice for manufacturers looking for reliable and robust workholding solutions in vertical machining centers.
