Large Vertical Clamp GHEXA-CUT-ACC-009

Product Short Description The GHEXA-CUT-ACC-009 Large Vertical Clamp is a heavy-duty, high-force vertical clamping solution engineered for secure and stable holding of large and bulky samples during abrasive sectioning. With a 90 mm arm unloading range, adjustable clamping height from -20 mm to 90 mm, and powerful 1600 N clamping force, this fixture applies strong, uniform downward pressure to prevent movement, tilting, or vibration—even on heavy forgings, billets, castings, extrusions, and oversized test pieces. Equipped with an M10 threaded T-slot block for rapid mounting, it delivers exceptional stability and precision on both automatic and manual large-capacity cutting machines, making it indispensable for demanding metallographic preparation in industrial and research laboratories.

Specifications

Key Applications & Uses

• Vertical clamping of large metallographic samples, heavy billets, forgings, castings, rails, shafts, pipes, structural components, and oversized test specimens
• Secure holding of bulky or high-mass industrial parts during high-force abrasive cutting to eliminate slippage, vibration, or misalignment
• Preparation of large cross-sections for microstructure analysis, macro-etching, inclusion rating, hardness mapping, and failure investigation
• Supporting high-throughput sectioning in automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, steel production, forging, and manufacturing quality control labs
• Enabling precise, stable cutting of elongated or heavy workpieces that benefit from downward pressure in automatic programmed or manual operations
• Ideal for university materials engineering departments, industrial R&D, and production facilities processing demanding, large-scale samples

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Which machines is the GHEXA-CUT-ACC-009 Large Vertical Clamp compatible with? A: It is designed for the GHEXA-CUT-EQP-AUTO-002 automatic abrasive sectioning machine and the GHEXA-CUT-EQP-MAN-007 manual abrasive sectioning machine.

Q: What advantage does vertical clamping provide for large samples? A: Vertical downward pressure with 1600 N force keeps heavy or bulky samples flat and immobile, reducing vibration, preventing lateral shift, and ensuring cleaner, more accurate cuts compared to horizontal vises alone.

Q: What sample sizes and types can this clamp handle? A: With a -20 mm to 90 mm height range and 90 mm arm unloading, it securely clamps large, thick, or tall specimens such as billets, forgings, castings, extrusions, shafts, and heavy test blocks up to approximately 90 mm in height.

Q: How is the clamp mounted on the machine? A: It installs directly via the M10 threaded T-slot block into the machine’s T-slotted worktable, providing fast, stable, and precise attachment.

Q: Is the clamping force adjustable? A: The system is engineered for a consistent high force of 1600 N, optimized for large samples; it delivers reliable, uniform pressure without requiring user adjustment for most applications.

Q: Can this clamp be used for very heavy or long samples? A: Yes—its high clamping force and vertical design make it excellent for heavy industrial samples; combine with the machine’s side-door access for extra-long workpieces.

Q: Is protective padding recommended for certain materials? A: For coated, softer, or surface-sensitive large samples, protective jaw pads or liners can be used to prevent marking—G-Hexa offers compatible accessories upon request.
