VPC tooling system
The solution for clamping technology with pitch dimensions 52/96
Process-reliable automation of vises
2
EROWA Vise Power Clamp (VPC) The Vise Power Clamp system delivers what it promises: powerful, precise, and process-reliable clamping of vises, fixtures and workpieces with pitch dimensions 52 & 96 mm. The two VPC chuck sizes with the matching VPC clamping spigots form the core. The universal application possibilities open up the greatest flexibility in workpiece production.

VPC Chuck 96 VPC Chuck 52 The two system sizes form the core of EROWA VPC: • VPC 52 chuck & clamping spigot for pitch 52 mm • VPC 96 chuck & clamping spigot for pitch 96 mm
THE FACTS
• Accommodates all vises with pitch 52/96 mm • Direct clamping of fixtures and workpieces • Maximizing manufacturing flexibility through the use of adapter pallets • Manual or automated handling • Process-safe work-holding for troublefree automation
Adapt different system sizes with each other. With adapter pallets, the VPC tooling system can be flexibly integrated into the EROWA UPC and MTS systems.

Integrate and profit
52
All vises, fixtures, and workpieces available on the market with prepared pitch dimensions 52 and 96 mm are quickly and easily accommodated in the EROWA VPC tooling system. This way they are integrated into the highly flexible EROWA manufacturing philosophy.
96
52
VPC chucks can be mounted directly or via a base plate on the machine table. 96
The vises equipped with VPC clamping spigots are inserted and clamped manually or automatically in the chuck.
Example: VPC Chuck 96 with base plate (ER-155774)
The chuck is controlled pneumatically.

Perfect fitting
Or you can go one step further and maximize your manufactur‑ ing flexibility by integrating the VPC chucks on adapter pallets. Adaptation examples with EROWA UPC & MTS are shown here:
The prepared vises, fixtures, and workpieces are inserted and clamped manually or automatically in the chuck.
Example: UPC adapter pallet with VPC chuck 52.
A
The VPC chuck can be controlled manually or automatically via AirDock (A).
Example: MTS adapter pallet with VPC chuck 52.
A
The UPC chuck or the MTS base plate forms the flexible base on the machine table. This means that, in addition to conventional workpiece carriers (pallets), you can also use adapter pallets with other EROWA clamping systems, such as VPC 52 or VPC 96, as required.
