GERARDI Vices cover most machine shop work holding requirements.
There are three basic systems each comprising six vice sizes with a range of jaws and accessories. All manufactured of alloy steel hardened to Ro60 and ground to within
0.02mm on all working surfaces enabling beds to be used as machining datums and ensuring component interchangeability.
GERARDI Modular “Standard” and “XL” (extended length) series grip the widest variety of work at lowest overall cost, the system including more than 500 interchangeable beds, bed extensions, fixed/moving jaws, jaw inserts and other accessories. Standard jaws have automatic “Down-Grip” inserts. Manual Torque Multipliers give high gripping force with small manual effort. Or use hydro-mechanical intensifiers where foot or hand switch operation is preferred. Jaw widths from 75 mm to 300 mm grip any work length.
GERARDI FMS “three-in-one” VICES hold one 
or two parts per load. With a square section bed internally accommodating the operating screw, maximum work holding capacity is obtained within the smallest vice “footprint”. They can easily be reset to hold a single or two parts per load as and when required.
Equipped with VEE jaws. GERARDI FMS vices become precision self centering vices (+/- 0.02mm) with shaft capacities up to 400mm.
GERARDI FMS vices may be clamped to the faces of GERARDI cubes or tombstones for application with horizontal machining centres. However GERARDI all alloy steel vice cubes incorporate an FMS vice in each face providing the maximum workholding capacity within a given volume, combined with great rigidity.
