OML and Gamba together for the new IMG vice
«We are very pleased with the new IMG clamp, which is meeting with great success on the market. We needed a suitable partner for the production of turned and milled components, to produce a high-quality product. We chose Gamba, with whom we have collaborated for many years. »

IMG is OML's new self-centring mechanical vice for machining with 5-axis machining centres
The vice is equipped with a patented telescopic system, which allows continuous opening and closing movement while keeping the screw completely protected from dirt. With a conversion kit, it is possible to transform IMG from self-centring to fixed point and/or double clamping: 3 types of clamping with a single vice. In the double clamping version, the workpieces do not have to be the same size, thanks to a compensation system.
IMG vices are equipped with reversible Sintergrip jaws that allow for no pre-machining and a minimal clamping depth (3.5 mm), ensuring secure clamping without deformation of the workpiece.
Gamba manufactures major components to high-quality standards
The two slides, made of 42CrMo4, require extremely tight geometric tolerances to ensure precision and regularity of movement.
They are produced with a 5-axis machining centre using IMG vices which, due to their much higher rigidity compared to the previous generation of vices, allow us to produce the part in a single intake, eliminating the need to grind the sliding surfaces.
By producing the entire part in a single placement, the geometries are perfectly matched to achieve a higher quality in the finished product.
