High Pressure Vises

To All: Saw this in MMSOnline - missed it before. Some excerpts:=====================================================?ve likely seen machine operators use a hammer or ?cheater? extension bar on a vise handle to maximize jaw clamping force.Arnold Workholding?s high-pressure vises use both mechanical screw action and a secondary power-boosting system. An operator turns the plastic handle to allow the vise?s screw to bring the jaws in contact with a part. After contact is made, a clutch disengages the screw and the vise?s power boosting system takes over. Meanwhile, the operator continues to easily turn the handle as the power booster builds pressure and quickly increases clamping force. An internal positive stop prevents the clamping force from exceeding its maximum force capacity. The company says the power booster can maintain that high clamping force for hours.Arnold Workholding?s high-pressure vises are available in a number of manual and automatic versions offering maximum clamping forces from 5,500 to 17,600 pounds.===================================================== Arnold Workholding. That's cute, Terminator Workholding. LOL

I'm experimenting now.. We've setup a vacuum table for some parts, works pretty good.. I've gotten some of those mitee-bites.. those work great too.. Next thing I'm going to experiment with is the miteegrip stuff..
