OK-VISE® Fixturing Concept

The “blank original system” is the most traditional way of using OK-VISE clamping method, where, in addition to OK-VISE clamps and bolts, the pockets or grooves are machined by the client to his specific needs and requirements.

Today clients are increasingly using Fixturing Concept modules, which offers an ease of design and reusability of modules.

However, our blank original system still remains a totally valid way of manufacturing optimized fixtures.

As in every OK-VISE Fixturing Concept system, the basic modules in the Blank System are clamp, stopper, side guide and riser block modules.

To resist the clamping and machining forces, a pocket should be machined to the blank plate. Pictures of the pockets are available in the installation instruction.

In addition to the basic modules above, the generic components complementing our product range can be used in the Blank Fixturing System as well as in other OK-VISE fixturing systems.

In most cases, code format is KCS-sjn, where corresponds to a clamp size (B or D), is a jaw type (Serrated, Smooth) and is a frame type.
Almost all other jaw combinations are also available. For example, in KCS-DES1 model, E stands for a self-aligning jaw and S - for a smooth jaw.

For extremely compact design, types like KCS-BR3 are recommended. Please note that in this case fixture plate must be machined also from the bottom side (see instruction).

These modules clamp in two directions, enabling to clamp two workpieces.
In most cases, code format is KCD-sjn, where corresponds to a clamp size (B or D), j is a jaw type (Serrated, Smooth) and is a plate type.

 

Stopper modules positions the workpiece.
In most cases, code format is KS-Sx, where corresponds to a smooth jaw type and is a stopper type.

S= smooth
R = serrated
D = diamond or tungsten carbide coating

 

In most cases, the code format is KG-n, where n is a guide type. Max tightening torque 30Nm.

Blank System

The OK-VISE Blank Fixturing System is designed to be used when dedicated (product-specific) fixtures are needed. Typically, it is used in the high volume production machining. Blank plates are used as a platform on which to build the fixture. Aluminium and steel blanks are recommended.

In addition to OK-VISE low-profile clamps and bolts, a variety of supplement components are also available. OK-VISE offers a range of various clamp and stopper modules, side guides and parallels (or riser blocks) as basic modules of a fixturing system. Our high-friction jaws in stopper modules and clamps ensure reliable clamping when high machining forces are used.

When sensitive contact with the workpiece is a must, then the use of smooth diamond-surface or contour-machined jaws are the optimal choices.
