Customised fixturing improve machining throughput
Custom workholding fixtures and tombstones designed around specific parts and processes greatly improve machining throughput while improving quality.
Stepped jaw design handles 15 different size parts
Stepped jaw design on a pillar fixture handles 15 different size parts simply by rotating the jaws and a quick-change feature allows repositioning a set of three jaws on one side of the pillar.
Featuring two clamping stations with machinable jaws, the HD's compact design makes possible maximum density workholding across the full range of today's machining centers.
The HD CarvLock manual tower model is just 16.875 inches high (428.62mm) and comes on 300, 400, 500 or 630mm bases.
The back-to-back vises have similar height and also come on 300, 400, 500 or 630mm bases.
The small footprints for both models reduce spindle travel, part to part, maximizing thoughput without compromising holding accuracy.
"The HD workholding family of vises are real problem solvers because they enhance machining center performance which can translate into immediate, improved profitability," according to Steve Kane, sales manager of Kurt Manufacturing Company.
Featuring durable 80,000 lb/in2 ductile iron tombstone towers and vise bodies, the HD design provides rugged strength, extra rigidity and long-term accuracy while absorbing machining vibration.
Equipped with machinable, quick-change Anglock jaws in either aluminum or cast iron, the vises, towers and tombstones have enclosed bodies to keep out chips and contaminants, making cleanup fast and easy.
They are available in manual and hydraulic actuation. Request a free brochure from Kurt Manufacturing ...
