FEATURES: Our Hilma DF-series twin vises allow clamping two workpieces against a fixed center jaw, in about the same space as a normal vise. They are ideal for precision, high-production machining on all types of machining centers, vertical or horizontal. Fixed and sliding jaws are precision ground to accept top-jaw tooling. Finest-quality construction for excellent rigidity and durability. The hydraulic version shown here provides automatic power clamping with exact force at the push of a button (requires external power unit). Made in Germany.
SIZES: Available in three sizes, with jaw widths from 100 to 160mm — see Dimensions page for part numbers. Clamping force of hydraulic version at 5000 psi:| | 100mm Jaw | | 5500 Lbs | | | 125mm Jaw | | 8900 Lbs | | | 160mm Jaw | | 14000 Lbs |
OPERATION (HYDRAULIC VERSION): During initial setup, move the sliding jaw into approximate position by moving the hardened steel cross-pin into a different hole in the base. Next, adjust jaw opening to the workpiece using the removable crank handle. When fluid pressure is applied by actuating the external power unit, the sliding jaw moves through its power stroke (.276" maximum stroke for safety) to apply full clamping force. Unclamping is by positive spring return.
ACCURACY: Vise bed is flame hardened and ground to a +/-.0004" height dimension. Fixed and sliding jaws are ground to a +/-.0008" height dimension to accept top-jaw tooling. Fixed-jaw location is +/-.0016" from the fixture-key slots.
MOUNTING: Mounting holes for socket-head cap screws are built into the base. This allows very close mounting of vises without external clamps. Vises are all slotted for 20mm fixture keys, to provide accurate mounting on T-slotted machine tables. Use two Step Fixture Keys to adapt to a specific table-slot size.
ACCESSORIES: A crank handle is furnished with each vise. |
