OML's new Genius 5-axis vice from Lexair Inc. reportedly turns workholding concepts on their head with a unique design that maximizes clamp force at the top of the jaws by pulling them closed at the top with a collapsing lead screw, while holding the bottom of the jaws in place with an opposing force screw.

OML's MC Modular Workholding System, which is available from Lexair Inc., uses fixed and movable vise jaws and patented self-locking CLAK parallels to achieve multiple clamping solutions and increased part accuracy with less set up time.

OML's new SinterGrip vise jaws from Lexair Inc. put an unbreakable grip on just 3.5mm of material to allow aggressive, 5-axis machining of high-value workpieces with minimal waste material.

Lexair's modular CIVI Rail workholding system boosts the productivity, accuracy and repeatability of horizontal machining centers, providing multi-part clamping in virtually limitless configurations on tombstones and trunnions.

OML's VariClamp modular clamping system from Lexair Inc. uses a floating mechanism of fixed and moveable jaws and a variety of gripper forms to provide custom clamping of irregular-shaped workpieces, including round, curved, elliptical, rectangular, stepped and slanted parts.

Kurt Manufacturing Co.'s new HDM690 vise is for precision clamping large parts for tool and die and production CNC applications.

Self-centering vises from Kurt Manufacturing Co., Industrial Products Div., improve machining center productivity by positioning and clamping workpieces precisely and quickly on a defined symmetrical axis.
