The WNT X5G-Z from Ceratizit is a new clamping system for machining centres. Notably, the system offers optimised access from all sides, which allows the machining of components on five or even six faces. Furthermore, Ceratizit says the vice is very easy to operate and significantly reduces set-up times.

In terms of design, the lean, tapered contour of the two (mobile) fixed jaws provides the spindle head/tool with optimum access to the workpiece. The jaws also contain elastomer elements which damp vibrations, thereby playing a role in better surface quality and increasing the service life of the tool and spindle.

Another distinctive feature resides in the system’s jaws and their adapter: a special dovetail guide means the user manually clicks them into position in just a matter of seconds, with no screws or tools required. The structural design incorporates a pull-down action, where following the clamping process it is possible to secure the workpiece with precision. Moreover, the component tends to pull downwards in the clamping device through the redirection of forces, which considerably minimises any lifting during machining.

Ceratizit offers 14 jaw styles with widths of 40, 65, 80 and 125 mm, of which two 125 mm jaws are already included within the supply of a X5G-Z as part of the basic equipment. Designed to be indexable, the quick-change jaws have a classic L-shape. The open angle means they can be used inwards or outwards, a feature which opens up additional options, without extra cost.

The WNT X5G-Z clamping system comes in five models and two heights, which differ in the length of their base bodies. The shortest measures 330 mm, while the others are 430, 500, 630 and 800 mm long.
