3" (75mm) AutoVise Pro™ - Self-Centering Pneumatic CNC Air Vise

Gimbel’s AutoVise line provides the best value and precision in the automated workholding market. The AutoVise air-powered CNC vise line features 0.0008” repeatability, an all steel and stainless construction, and serrated adjustable jaws. Vises are rated to a quarter-million clamp cycles before rebuild maintenance is required, with many vises exceeding one-million cycles in-field. These vises are available in 75, 100, and 150mm size clamp-width. The two smaller vises feature 5mm of total actuation (2.5mm per jaw) while the 150mm AutoVise has 10mm of total stroke (5mm per jaw). Unlike competing automatic vises and fixturing solutions, the included hardened serrated jaws remove the need for creating custom soft jaws for one-op automation. Instead, virtually all aluminum and unhardened steels can be machined directly in the included jaws for Op1. These jaws are also fully reversible for a variety of clamping sizes ranges. While the vise is self-centering, users can configure the jaws differently on either side of the vise for a full clamping range. Integrated springs inside the AutoVise also bring the clamping force in-line with traditional manual workholding systems. These springs also serve as a failsafe to ensure parts are not thrown in the rare case of pneumatic failure. For users that are looking to pass air directly through the bottom of their vises, we offer the 75mm and 100mm AutoVises in a Rotary version, which features a base-plate passing the pneumatics directly through the bottom. These optional bases are available with 1.500 and 2.000” centering plates that make them widely compatible with 4th axis rotaries. We also offer the smallest and most universal Rotary Union on the market with 4 air ports, which is designed specifically for fourth and fifth axis applications. Servicing kits and replacement parts are available. Need a complete solution including workholding? Our GripFlipGrip Two Op Automation Module combines the QuickFlip Station with two of our AutoVises for one convenient automation system for integration with Gripper or Robotic automation.
