flexible Clampling Vise

for irregular parts

and Complex Geometries

Our flexible vises adapt to the actual contour of each part to ensure safe, vibration‑free handling in CNC, EDM and Wire EDM. Forget improvised setups and constantly machining soft jaws; work with confidence from the first moment.

How It Works

The system uses spring‑loaded pins that move to copy the part’s shape. Once adapted, they are locked manually. This eliminates the need to machine soft jaws and allows you to clamp complex geometries effortlessly.

Contour‑adapted

Adapts automatically to any part geometry, ensuring stable and secure clamping.

Vibration‑free

The part remains still, without micro‑movements, avoiding damage to delicate components.

Flexible integration

Compatible with different CNC, EDM and transport/palletizing systems.

Repeatability & reliability

Repeatable positioning for stable processes and high quality.

What client say about us

This product did what is was supposed to do. Thanks Ralph and RHS, great customer service.

Nick H.

We have been working with the RHS Self Centering Vise for several months and it has been a great addition to our workshop. It’s easy to use and allows us to quickly clamp and release any type of workpiece. The pins on the fixtures are really flexible and give us the ability to simulate complex shapes with ease.
