The automated clamping device, shown in the photograph below (left), closes and holds the part
securely during the machining process. The device opens to allow an automated loading device to load a
new workpiece or remove a finished part.
The pneumatic pressure regulator system, shown in the photograph below (right), is mounted on the
spindle motor access door on the right side of the machine as shown. This system regulates the air sent
to the pneumatic vise forcing it to clamp onto the work piece.
