Parallel vice 120

The professional equipment of a commercial vehicle is a decisive factor for craftsmen and service providers for efficiency in everyday work. When the vehicle becomes a mobile workshop, the demands on the available working tools increase. A central element of this mobile workshop is the secure and precise fixation of components. The Sortimo 120 parallel vice offers a robust solution for this, which is specifically tailored to the requirements of craftsmen in the van and vehicle sector. It enables work to be carried out directly on the vehicle without having to resort to a stationary workshop. This saves time, reduces trips to the fixed workshop, and increases productivity on the construction site or during customer appointments. The integration of a high-quality vice into the vehicle equipment is therefore more than just an issue of organization, but a tool for quality assurance and process optimization.

The construction of the device is based on the use of steel, a material known for its high strength and durability. This ensures that the vice does not fail even under high loads and when processing hard materials. The steel construction gives the device a high weight, which is simultaneously perceived as an advantage for stability during operation. A heavy device is less likely to slide when clamping than a light one, which increases the precision of the work. The external dimensions are 376 x 120 x 170.5 millimeters. These compact dimensions are deliberately chosen to optimally utilize the limited storage space in vans, panel vans, or light commercial vehicles. Despite the compact design, no compromise is made on load-bearing capacity or stability. The total weight of 9.46 kilograms underscores the solid construction and high-quality material.

Two technical parameters are crucial for selecting the right vice: jaw width and opening width. The present parallel vice has a jaw width of 120 millimeters. This width makes it possible to securely grip both small components and larger profiles. The opening width is 150 millimeters. This value defines the maximum distance between the jaws and thus determines the thickness of workpieces that can be clamped. For many craft applications, such as processing pipes, profiles, or plates, this dimensioning is ideally designed. The combination of 120 millimeters jaw width and 150 millimeters opening width represents a good average value that is suitable for the broad range of typical automotive and craft work.

A special feature of this model is the pipe clamping jaws. This special design of the jaws makes it possible to securely fix cylindrical workpieces such as pipes, rods, or wires without them twisting or loosening from the tension. For craftsmen who frequently work with pipes, electrical lines, or metallic profiles, this function is indispensable. Without pipe clamping jaws, clamping round workpieces was often only possible with additional aids or insecure support. The pipe clamping jaws create a secure foundation here for sawing, filing, welding, or cleaning.

Integration into the Sortimo system takes place via compatibility with foldable work benches and the work bench pull-out. This means that the vice can be seamlessly integrated into existing system solutions to create a mobile work station. When the vice is mounted on a foldable work bench, a flat work surface is created that can be folded up when not in use to save space. This is particularly advantageous in vehicles with limited load volume. The possibility of connecting the vice to a rotary table significantly expands the range of applications. By combining it with a rotary table, the workpiece can be rotated at an angle without moving the vice itself. This is particularly advantageous for work that requires multiple processing angles, such as drilling holes from different directions or welding in hard-to-reach areas.

The mobile workshop in the vehicle requires a thoughtful concept. The 120 parallel vice contributes to this by providing a professional working foundation. Craftsmen can thus carry out repairs on site that would otherwise only be possible in a fixed workshop. This can range from cleaning components to grinding edges to drilling mounting holes. The ability to perform work directly on the vehicle reduces downtime and increases customer satisfaction. Fast on-site service is an important selling point for many service providers.

The advantages of this vice lie in its versatility and robustness.

The classification into the Sortimo system shows how important modularity is for the modern craftsman. Sortimo offers a range of accessories for work benches that work together to create an optimal working environment. The parallel vice is a central component. It is designed to be integrated into Sortimo systems without the need for complex adjustments. This applies both to the attachment to the work benches and to the combination with other accessories. The Sortimo systems are designed to optimize workflows and increase safety. By using compatible components, a uniform and efficient solution is created.

When looking at specific user questions, it becomes clear that the Sortimo parallel vice has a jaw width of 120 millimeters. This value is clearly defined in the technical data and determines the maximum width of the workpiece resting on one side of the jaw. The question of whether the vice is also suitable for aluminum vehicles cannot be answered in general with a technical specification, as compatibility depends on the mounting method. Basically, a vice is a tool for processing workpieces, not for mounting on the vehicle itself, unless it is attached to a work bench that is mounted on the vehicle. The choice of steel material is relevant for the vice itself, not for the vehicle material. The attachment of the parallel vice to the work bench is not described in detail in the present data, as this depends on the respective work bench and the mounting system used. Generally, this is done via the intended connections of the foldable work benches or the work bench pull-out. The maximum weight that the vice can carry is not explicitly stated in the data. The own weight of 9.46 kilograms is given, but the load capacity of the vice depends on the strength of the jaws and the thread, which is not specified here. The question of whether Sortimo vices fit into every van cannot be answered in general. The external dimensions of 376 x 120 x 170.5 millimeters are relatively compact, but the installation depends on the individual vehicle equipment and the existing work bench.

The choice of the right tool is crucial for the quality of the work. A 120mm parallel vice for vans offers the necessary stability and precision to cope with demanding tasks. Craftsmen who are often on the road appreciate the mobility and quick availability of tools. The Sortimo vice is an example of this principle. It is constructed to withstand daily use and provide reliable service. The use of steel as a material is a sign of the quality that Sortimo invests in its products.

For the area of van racking, the purchase of such a vice is an investment in efficiency. A vice for mobile workshop work saves the trip to the fixed workshop and enables quick repairs. This is particularly advantageous for emergency services or projects with tight schedules. The possibility of combining the vice with other Sortimo accessories for work benches additionally increases the benefit. One can build a complete work station in the vehicle that offers all the necessary functions for daily work.

In summary, it can be said that the Sortimo 120 parallel vice is a high-quality tool for professional use. With its jaw width of 120 millimeters and an opening width of 150 millimeters, it covers a wide range of applications. The pipe clamping jaws expand the range of applications to cylindrical workpieces. Mounting on foldable work benches and the option to combine with rotary tables make it a flexible component of the mobile workshop. The weight of 9.46 kilograms and the dimensions of 376 x 120 x 170.5 millimeters in steel ensure stability and durability. For craftsmen who value quality and efficiency, this vice is a sensible addition to the vehicle equipment. It helps to facilitate everyday work and ensure professional performance at the customer's location. The integration into the Sortimo system offers the security that the tool can be seamlessly inserted into existing processes.
