 ABSTRACT

Vise is commonly used industrial machine tor gripping work. It plays a major part in fabrication work and is
frequently used. We propose a motor operated bench vise which can tighten up to hold the work piece (as
well as loosen up) by just pressing the switch. It is a motorized vice which reduces our time and effort in its
operation. The power screw mechanism is employed in this design to lower the efforts required. The Motor is
coupled to lead screw of bench vise via universal joint. A control switch is used to control the direction of
rotation of motor shaft as per the workers requirement.
 AUTOMATIC MOTORIZED
BENCH-VISE

• INTRODUCTION:

Vises a mechanical screw apparatus used for holding or clamping a work piece to allow work to be
performed on it with tools such as saws, planes, mills. Drills, screwdrivers sandpaper, etc. Vises usually
have one fixed jaw and another, parallel jaw which is moved towards or away from the fixed jaw by the
screw. Vises are used as holding devise on machines like lathes, milling machine, drilling machine etc.
and also by tool makers for holding jobs. Design wise three types of vises are very common in use namely
plain vise, swivel vise and tool maker’s vise which is commonly known as bench vise. Vise is usually
refers to a bench vise with flat, parallel jaws, attached to a workbench. There are two main types: a
woodworking vise and engineer’s vise. The woodworker’s bench vise main characteristic is its integration
into the bench. An engineer’s bench vise is usually clamped or bolted onto the top of the bench. The
handle is usually adjustable so that it can be tightened in small places. There are four main types of bench
vises these are machinist vise, mechanics vise, post vise and woodworkers vise. The machinist’s vise is
considered as “cream of the crop”. They are stoutly made and are finely machined. The jaws should match
up perfectly, and they will be made of very high grade (60,000psi or greater) cast iron. The mechanic’s
vises are made of lower grade iron. They usually have an integrated anvil area. The post vise is a
blacksmith’s tool, these vises are made of forged wrought iron, not cast iron. Allowing them to have
ductility. The woodworker’s vise is an under-mount vise. Usually with a retractable dog for clamping
work upon the workbench. There are two main types of jaws used on vises: hard and soft. Hard jaws are
available with either a coarse gripping surface or are ground flat and smooth to increase accuracy.
• OBJECTIVE AND INNOVATION

The target of our project is to style and Fabrication of automatic machine vice. Versatile machine vice
by increasing the Hold power through achieved by electric Motor. A two direction switch is control
The electric motor for the clockwise and Anti-dextrorotation. Portable automatic Machine vice and
straightforward to hold Out one place to a different place.

• EXISTING SYSTEM

A machine vise that can be rotated. An engineer’s vice, also known as a metalworking vice or
machinists vice, is used to clamp metal instead of wood. It is used to hold metal when filing or
cutting. It is sometimes made of cast steel or malleable cast iron, but most are made of cast iron.
However, most heavy duty vices are 55,000 psi cast steel or 65,000 psi ductile iron. Some vices have
a cast iron body but a steel channel bar. Cast iron is popular because it is typically 30 ksi grey iron
which is rigid, strong and inexpensive. The jaws are often separate and replaceable, usually engraved
with serrated or diamond teeth. Soft jaw covers made of aluminum, copper, wood (for wood working)
or plastic may be used to protect delicate work. The jaw opening of an engineer’s vice is almost
always the same size as the jaw width, if not bigger. An engineer’s vice is bolted onto the top surface
of a workbench with the face of the fixed jaws just forward of its front edge. The vice may include
other features such as a small anvil on the back of its body. Most engineer’s vices have a swivel base.
Some engineer’s vices marketed as “Homeowner Grade” are not made of steel or cast iron, but of pot
metal [citation needed] or a very low grade of iron, typically with a tensile strength of under 10 ksi.
Most homeowner’s bench vices have an exposed screw.

• SYNOPSIS :
In Normal machine vice the human labor involves in turning the handle to hold the component tightly by
giving more human effort which eventually results in damage on work piece due to over tightening off the
handle. This may be avoided by involving motorized vice in which the work piece is cannot gets damage
while clamping where the operation can be monitored by the operator. An lead screw rotate a movable
jaw their using back ram to forward and reverse movement of the vice jaws to remove the work piece and
to hold the work piece. These types of motorized machine vice can be used for all type of machine. In
applications such as, Drilling machine, milling machine, shaping machining which provides an effective
grip to job during machining processes. This motor operated machine vice can be manufactured at
optimized cost from small scale industries to larger machining works.

• WORKING PRINCIPLE:

The cam vice consists of fixed jaw, moving jaw, lever, lead screw, handle, cam mechanism and frame
stand. The fixed jaw is fixed on the frame. The moving jaw is arranged parallel through the fixed jaw. The
pulley arrangement is placed before the moving jaw. The belt arrangement consists of pulley coupled with
motor The lead screw is used to adjust the cam arrangement in the equipment. The main purpose of the
vice is used to clamp and unclamp the same sizes specimens on it. This vice is used in mass production.
The specimen is placed between the fixed jaw and moving jaw, and then the lead is operated by motor.
The specimen is clamped at a perfect stage, and then the lead screw is used to fit the correct area in the
cam arrangement. We can easily clamp and unclamp the same of specimens in this equipment very easily.

 • COMPONENTS USED:

1. BENCH-VICE:

An bench vise, also known as a metalworking vise, or, informally, a “machinist’s vise”, is used to clamp
metal instead of wood. It is used to hold metal when filing or cutting. It is sometimes made of cast steel or
malleable cast iron, but most are made of cast iron. The jaws are often separate and replaceable, usually
engraved with serrated or diamond teeth. Soft jaw covers made of aluminum, copper, wood (for
woodworking) or plastic may be used to protect delicate work. The jaw opening of an engineer’s vise
generally equals its jaw width, though it may be wider.

2. L-BAR FRAME:

The frames are formed by L-shaped bars. low-carbon steel material frame are utilized in our project to
construct base and a vertical column. it's relatively cheaper than other materials also suitable for our
project. low-carbon steel is very walkability. The high steel and low-carbon steel are easily wieldable.
M.S. L-bars is plastically deformed by more elongation It are often carburized to extend a high strength in
M.S.

3. FORWARD REVERSE SWITCH:
It is also referred to as two directions or Reverse switch. It changes the electrical Flow in both the forward
and backward Direction.

4. DC MOTOR:
A DC motor is an electrical motor that uses direct current (DC) to produce mechanical force. The most
common types rely on magnetic forces produced by currents in the coils. Nearly all types of DC motors
have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction
of current in part of the motor.

• ADVANTAGES :
The advantages of automatic motorized Bench vice are:
• It is compact to handle and operate.
• Portable to any place and required Little space.
• The torque obtained from the motor is More than other DC motor.
• The holding power is more so there is No need a feeler gauge for checking.
• It can ensure constant speed working.
