Even large components perfectly under control

HWR's SolidGrip 5-axis centering vices already enjoy an excellent reputation in the metalworking industry: solid, robust, reduced to the essentials, yet still versatile. A new model expands the spectrum of this flexible all-rounder: SolidGrip Maxx. The "big brother" enables the clamping of large workpieces that extend beyond the previous maximum clamping range of 355 mm.

With the zero-point and embossed clamping technology of the SolidLine product family, HWR has established itself as an innovative and resourceful developer of clamping devices. Continuous optimizations and additions are part of the DNA of the specialists from Northern Germany.

The latest development is the SolidGrip Maxx 5-axis centering vice. It expands the existing SolidGrip series with four coordinated and ascending sizes, allowing even larger components to be clamped perfectly and precisely. While previously clamping workpieces up to 355 mm was possible, SolidGrip Maxx now offers users clamping ranges of up to 500 mm, 600 mm, 700 mm, and even up to 800 mm. Existing clamps can also be easily and cost-effectively upgraded to SolidGrip Maxx.

Stamping technology for perfect grip and high clamping force

A special feature of HWR's 5-axis centering clamps comes into play when combined with the innovative SolidStamp stamping station: With SolidStamp, the blanks are stamped outside the centering clamp in a matter of seconds. The SolidGrip clamping jaws with the corresponding retaining teeth then form a positive fit that holds the blank perfectly and securely in position. The advantage: The clamping device itself no longer requires such high holding forces. Force transmitters or similar aids, as required with conventional clamping methods, are no longer required. This is why SolidGrip clamps are so compact and designed to be virtually free of interference contours. The new SolidGrip Maxx offers the option of clamping in the pre-stamped holding teeth, as well as the possibility of clamping the workpiece directly with newly developed holding jaws.
