Maximize your machine table capacity and drastically reduce cycle times with our High-Density Multilex Vises with Double-Clamping Jaws. Manufactured by Pingyuan Zhenghao Machinery, these multi-station vises are engineered for high-volume production. Featuring a compact 50mm width and available in overall lengths of 300mm, 400mm, and 500mm (ZH-300X50, ZH-400X50, ZH-500X50), they allow you to pack multiple vises side-by-side. The innovative wedge-style double-clamping mechanism securely holds multiple workpieces simultaneously, providing equalized clamping force. Ideal for holding small to medium-sized parts on vertical machining centers (VMCs) or horizontal tombstones, this system transforms your setup into a high-efficiency production powerhouse at unbeatable factory-direct prices.

In high-production CNC machining, every second counts. Traditional single-station vises waste valuable table space and require frequent tool changes and operator interventions. The Multilex Vise solves this by utilizing a modular, multi-station design. By employing a central wedge mechanism, tightening a single screw pushes the double-clamping jaws outward, securing two or more parts simultaneously with perfectly balanced pressure. With its ultra-slim 50mm profile, you can mount numerous vises directly next to each other, allowing a single machine cycle to process dozens of parts unattended.
Double-Clamping Technology: The wedge-driven center jaws expand outward to clamp two workpieces per station simultaneously. This equalizes the clamping force, preventing part distortion and ensuring secure gripping even during heavy milling.
High-Density Setup (50mm Width): With a uniform width of just 50mm (Dimension B) and a base height of 50mm (Dimension C), these vises are designed to be ganged together side-by-side. This maximizes the use of your machine's X and Y travel.
Multiple Length Options: Available in three standard base lengths to suit your machine envelope and part sizes:
ZH-300X50: 300mm overall length (Max clamping capacity D: 4 * 30mm)
ZH-400X50: 400mm overall length (Max clamping capacity D: 4 * 55mm)
ZH-500X50: 500mm overall length (Max clamping capacity D: 4 * 80mm)
Precision Ground Alloy Steel: Manufactured from high-grade tool steel and hardened for maximum rigidity. All mounting surfaces are precision-ground to ensure perfect alignment when multiple vises are used in tandem.
Reduced Cycle Times: By holding 4, 8, or even 16 parts in a single setup, you drastically reduce the number of tool changes per part and minimize machine idle time, leading to massive productivity gains.
Direct Manufacturer Savings: Source your multi-station workholding systems directly from our factory, bypassing middlemen for highly competitive wholesale pricing.
Complete Customization: Need a specific length, custom jaw profiles, or specialized mounting holes? Our engineering team can modify the ZH series to perfectly match your production line requirements.
Strict Quality Control: Every Multilex vise undergoes rigorous 3D CMM inspection to guarantee squareness, parallelism, and consistent clamping force across all stations.
Q1: How does the double-clamping wedge mechanism work?
A: The center jaw assembly contains an angled wedge. When you tighten the locking screw, the wedge is pulled downward, which forces the two halves of the jaw to expand outward horizontally. This action clamps two separate workpieces against the fixed outer jaws simultaneously with equalized force.
Q2: Can I hold parts of slightly different sizes in the same clamping station?
A: Standard solid jaws require the parts in a single double-clamping station to be very close in size (typically within 0.1mm) to ensure both are gripped securely. However, we can provide special compensating jaws (with a slight pivoting action or urethane inserts) if you need to hold parts with larger dimensional variations.
Q3: What do the dimensions in the table mean?
A:
A: The total overall length of the vise base (300, 400, or 500mm).
B & C: The width and height of the vise base, which are consistently 50mm across all models, allowing for easy side-by-side alignment.
D: The clamping capacity per station (e.g., "4 * 30" means it can hold 4 parts, each up to 30mm long).
E: The height of the clamping jaws (24mm).
Q4: Can these be mounted on a horizontal machining center (HMC) tombstone?
A: Absolutely. The flat, precision-ground bases and compact footprint make the ZH series Multilex vises perfect for mounting vertically on tombstones. This is one of the most common and efficient applications for this type of high-density workholding.
