The Problem The Cronos Vise System was developed to eliminate the need to build custom Mitee Bite pallets and along the way improved a number of other cnc milling machine related issues. We have been in the job shopping world for over 15 years and never liked the solutions currently available. Modular vises such as the Saunders Mod Vise and the SVF Modular Vise have their fair share of pros and cons. The Saunders Mod vise was fast to set up but was limited in the number of parts it could hold. The SVF Modular vise was fast and held more parts but cost far too much to justify. Regular mill vises simply held too few parts and were too expensive to fill the milling machine table with. Mitee bite pallets are a common solution in these situations. They can be very productive and costs are reasonable. But they need to be manufactured. Slowing down your shop and tying up your personnel to design, program and then make the pallet. Another option was to do some sort of quick change system. Pierson Pallets and a Pallet changer from Pierson Work Holding, or Saunders Machine Works fixture plate made switching setups faster and easier but didn’t directly increase the amount of parts you could hold. They just make it easier to switch to such a system. Orange Vise offers a similar quick change solution with their pallets. But you will still need to build those from scratch and what's worse is that any custom tooling you make will be limited to that specific part and is not future proof. One and done type solution, and if the customer does not come back with future orders that tooling will sit on a shelf collecting dust for years before being tossed in the bin. The Solution We spent over 6 months developing this product. It needed to be simple and effective, accurate and fast to deploy, long lasting and affordable. Our Cornos Vise (AKA Modular vise, Pallet Work Holding) checked all the boxes. 20 stations or milling vises can be set up in less than 10 minutes. WOW! No other system offers such fast deployment and such high part densities. Not only is it fast but it is also strong and accurate. Each milling vise clamp produces 1100 lbs or more of applied force to your part. Allowing you to run your milling machine at high feeds and speeds. Our low pro clamps provide high access to the part. All dimensions and functions are accurate to +- .001”. If you attach our system directly to a saunders plate the low pro design gives you back some Z height. If you have a Haas mini mill, Tormach 1100mx or smaller Tormach, mini cnc mill, desktop cnc mill, or even regular cnc milling machine, you know how valuable Z height is. All vertical machining centers suffer from this issue. If you have a quick change system such as a Pierson Work Holding solution, Zero Point, Or saunders machine works table, then swapping out your setups is fast and easy. You know how run times are affected by part size. Now imagine tossing 20 small parts on to your cnc milling machine in less than 10 minutes! Our design comes with a variety of jaws to suit your needs including soft jaws for odd shaped parts and high precision requirements. We compared our design to the industry leading solutions and found that our vise system paid for itself after just 3 custom pallet jobs. And beat the SVF modular vise system in cost and ROI. If your shop regularly makes custom Mitee Bite pallets and is looking for a faster and more cost effective solution, look no further. The Cornos vise system is the perfect solution for your shop.
