The ARNOLD MB2 vice has a great clamping capacity. The jaws of this vice are reversible and are fixed with 4 screws. The clamping range is increased by 30% by simply rotating the jaws.
Vice jaws are fixed by means of screws and slots and are easily dismountable. This allows for different jaw configurations to be used when machining irregular parts.
Oscillating jaws can be used for clamping parts that are not square. These are placed on a vertical axis situated on the spindle shoe and then adjust to the work-piece configuration by means of the rotating action of the axis. See April 2009 Newsletter in spanish.
The total length of the vice can easily be modified to allow for mounting the vice in a reduced space by altering the length of the vice body.
The ARNOLD MB2 vice can be divided into two parts. This means that extra large parts can be clamped without reducing clamping pressure. See April 2011 Newsletter.
ARNOLD MB2 vices can be operated alongside each other as they are easy to clamp on the table either with side clamps or internally with screws.
The vice has side openings and space under the fixed jaw to allow for chippings/ swarth removal.
OPTIONS AND APPLICATIONS
All types of spindles can be used. The high pressure mechanical spindle is recommended when machining processes require many changes and the series are short. This spindle requires no maintenance – just cleaning. The pressure regulator is recommended for clamping parts of different composition/ hardness.
For long machining series (great clamping frequency), oleo-dynamic spindles are recommended. These open and close automatically. The change from one spindle to another is simple and fast.
