Mate Precision Technologies has announced the immediate availability of their new 52/96 zero-point workholding system. The system includes vises, bases and mounting systems which are manufactured in Minnesota.
Engineered to maximize holding power for three-, four- and five-axis machining centers, Mate claims its workholding system not only reduces setup times and process variability, but also offers optimized accuracy and repeatability in a compact, quick change, modular design.
Mate’s workholding system includes:
- Mate DynoGrip self-centering vises, which feature maximum holding power with minimal part movement and zero-point quality engagement with a rigid four-post pull stud pattern. The vises come in 13 sizes and three widths.
- Mate DynoLock quick change bases, which provide zero-point quality engagement with the same four-post stud pattern. The bases are available in 11 size variations.
- Mate DynoMount system, which expands machine capacity and flexibility with tombstones, pyramids, risers and dual right-angle mounts that feature the same zero-point quality engagement for four-point stud patterns.
The Mate 52/96 workholding system includes QuickSpecs, Mate’s unique product identification system, which allows real-time access to critical user data, CAD models and potential integration into business systems. Additionally, the product supports common robotic interfaces and palletizing systems to support factory automation.
