A self-centering vise is a powerful workholding device that helps improve machining precision and repeatability. They feature two jaws that move in equal and opposite directions, so they automatically adjust the workpiece to the center of the vise – making it ideal for drilling, tapping, boring and finishing applications on CNC machines.

They also help ensure that the workpiece stays in a secure position while it is being machined, which can help reduce vibration and chatter, which can contribute to less-than-optimal results. They are available in a variety of jaw widths, so they can be used to hold a range of workpiece sizes and shapes.
Self-centering vises are also designed to be easy to operate, so they can help you increase efficiency and productivity in your workshop. For example, some models are designed with a push button for quick, easy jaw adjustment and release. Others have a ratchet handle for fast, precise jaw clamping.
Another advantage of these types of vises is their compact, low-profile design. This means they take up less space on a workbench, which can make them easier to store and reach when needed. Some models are even compact enough to fit inside a tool box, which can save space in the shop.
The self-centering vises offered by Kurt Workholding offers self-centering vises in a variety of sizes, including 2.5/4/6-inch jaw openings, so you can find the right jaw for your machine and application. They also offer a variety of jaw styles and sizes, so you can get the exact clamping force you need for your workpiece.
Some self-centering vises are also designed with a removable set of jaws for additional versatility and flexibility. They can be replaced with a set of soft jaws, which can be used for clamping softer materials or wood. They can also be swapped out with a set of hard jaws, which are made from fully-machined steel for superior gripping power on harder materials up to HRC 35.
These vises are also designed for a range of mounting options, including on-center mounting, bridgeport mounting and T-slot mounts. This makes it easy to install and use them on a CNC machine.
The centering vise, also called self-centering vise (others may spell it centring vice or self-centering vice) is a machine vise used in cnc machining. Its task is to hold the workpiece to be machined securely during the machining process.
The centering vise gets its name from the fact that its two clamping jaws move together evenly towards the center of the vise. Contrary to the design of a vise with a fixed jaw, the workpiece is thus always fixed above the center of the vise. This means that the workpiece is equally accessible from both short sides of the centering vise.
The centering vise consists of the following components:
The centering vise can either be mounted directly on the machine table of the CNC machine (for example by means of clamps) or it is mounted by means of a zero point clamping system. This offers the possibility of setting up and dismantling the centering vise with high precision in just a few moments.
Thanks to the optimized accessibility and its advantages in applications in 5-axis machining centers, the centering vise is becoming more and more popular nowadays and is now part of every modern machining process in CNC machines.
With competitive price and timely delivery, NEXTAS sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
On the market today, users can find a wide variety of centering vises with manual, pneumatic, hydraulic and electromechanical actuation.
Attributes that are often associated with the LANG self-centering vises are: compact, handy and versatile. In addition, they impress with their compatibility with each other. The best-selling machine vice in LANG Technik's centering vise range is without question the 5-Axis Vise. For years, it has been considered the benchmark in 5-sided machining of blanks. In addition, customers can find the right centring vice for every component shape and machining step at LANG Technik.
At LANG Technik, customers can find the right centering vise for every part shape and machining stage.
The centering vise for blank machining is the 5-Axis Vise. With its features, it meets all the requirements of a machine vice in modern 5-axis machining - above all its unique combination of compactness and high holding forces. Like no other, it represents reliability and secure workpiece clamping, especially with extreme cutting forces and high chip removal volumes in milling operations.
The compact design of the Makro•Grip® 5-Axis Vise and its reversible jaws ensure maximum accessibility to the workpiece at all times. As a result, shorter tools can be used in multi-axis machining, which reduces vibrations and has a positive effect on both milled part quality and tool life.
When it comes to 5-axis machining, the holding forces of the centering vise are outstanding. The fact that only low clamping forces are required for this is due to the form-fit clamping technology. With its truncated pyramid-shaped serration, it holds pre-stamped workpiece blanks by form-fit.
As a result:
This enables distortion-free and gentle workpiece clamping, which ultimately benefits the component quality - completely independent of whether you are clamping softer or high-tensile materials up to 45 HRc.
Additional options offered by the 5-axis centering vise:
In addition to the 5-Axis Vise, the range of vises from LANG Technik also includes other centering vises. The centering vises for contour clamping offer impressive versatility and the ability to securely clamp virtually any component shape. Two of these self-centering vises use exchangeable top jaws for clamping the workpieces, but have different advantages:
The base body of all centring vices is always identical in its design. This ensures that all clamping jaw types are fully compatible and can be swapped. The base bodies differ only in their body width and length, through which different clamping ranges can be realized.
