Imao Corporation releases Flex X clamp for 5-axis MCs

January 24, 2022

Designed for stable clamping in high-load and simultaneous 5-axis machining

On November 29, 2021, Imao Corporation, a manufacturer of machine components and jigs, released the Flex X, a vise specifically designed for 5-axis machining centers.

The Flex X enables stable clamping even under high-load conditions and during simultaneous 5-axis machining. The clamp’s mouthpiece deforms elastically on both sides, which helps prevent the workpiece from lifting during machining. The position of the mouthpiece is easily adjustable, allowing the Flex X to accommodate a wide range of workpiece sizes.

Enhancing the efficiency of 5-axis machine tools

By ensuring stable and adaptable clamping, the Flex X helps users maximize the performance of 5-axis machines, ultimately contributing to higher productivity in machining operations.
