This is the first step in your journey to running lights out. Stop opening your vise like a caveman, we have a machine for that. This high-precision pneumatic vise actuator/closer helps automate your CNC machine tending process by allowing a Robot to load and unload the workpiece without a human operator. Works with almost any existing 6" milling machine vise saving you the high cost of new hydraulic vises and pump systems when you need to quickly automate your existing processes!

Please check vise compatibility before purchasing!
