Who is the BMS 140 QC industrial drilling machine vice for?
The bms 140 qc industrial drilling machine vice is recommended for the following professional profiles:
-
Mechanical workshops and millers: secure clamping of workpieces during milling and drilling on machine tools.
-
Production departments with series processing: quick and repeatable clamping for production cycles.
Not suitable for: turning cylindrical parts (lathes require self-centering chucks, not milling machine vices).
Frequently asked questions
What is a drilling machine vice used for?
The BMS 140 mm vice is sized for pillar drills and drilling machines, with reduced weight and T-slots for quick attachment to the table.
Drilling machine vices are lighter than milling machine vices (less rigidity in the guides, but sufficient for the lower torque of drilling). The BMS series is for drilling machines, quick clamping.
What does the 140 mm dimension indicate?
It indicates the jaw width (140 mm). The clamping width is generally equal to or slightly greater than the jaw width.
To choose the size: as a practical rule, the jaw width should be at least 70% of the workpiece size. For pieces >100 mm, choose 140 mm vices or larger.
Which machine is it mounted on?
It is mounted on pillar drills and bench drills with a standard table.
Check the availability of T-slots on the drill table. Milling machines require precision vices (PS, KV, PHV), not drilling machine vices.
Are the jaws replaceable?
Yes, the jaws are hardened, ground, and fully replaceable. This is an important advantage for long-term maintenance.
The jaws are the wear point of the vice: after thousands of clamps, they may show indentations or deformations. Replacement is autonomous with the dedicated fixing screws. Krollit supplies original replacement jaws.
How is precision maintained?
Regular cleaning of the guides and jaws, application of a light layer of oil on the sliding parts every 50 hours of use, periodic checking of parallelism with a dial indicator.
Chips accumulated in the guides compromise parallelism precision. For intensive use with coolant, dry the vice at the end of the shift to prevent rust on the ground parts. Acceptable parallelism tolerance: 0.02-0.05 mm over the length.
