The WNT X5G-Z from CERATIZIT is a new, efficient and highly precise clamping system for machining centers. The most impressive feature of the WNT X5G-Z 5-axis clamping system is its optimized access from all sides, which allows components to be machined with five or even six axes. What is more, the 5-axis vice is very easy to operate and significantly reduces the setup time.
The sophisticated design of the WNT X5G-Z is immediately apparent: The lean, tapered contour of the two (mobile) fixed jaws provides the spindle head/tool with optimum access to the workpiece. The jaws contain elastomer elements that damp vibrations, thereby playing a role in improved surface quality and increasing the service life of the tool and spindle. The system jaws and their adapter also have distinctive features. They sit on a special dovetail guide that the user manually clicks them into – in just a matter of seconds with no screws or tools required. The structural design incorporates a pull-down action. This means that after the clamping process, the tool is secured with great precision and tends to be pulled downwards in the clamping device through redirection of the forces, which considerably minimizes any lifting of the workpiece.
