Customised vices provide flexible workholding
Twin customised Kurt vices (vises) at Haberman Machine accurately centre two heavy workpieces over a machine pallet for extra rigidity while facilitating aggressive metal removal.
Workholding system extends vice capability
Kurt Manufacturing's Hydramax workholding system for its 8in vices holds five or eight parts in a single clamping and replace standard jaw plates.
Both manual vises and towers deliver up to 6,316 lbf of clamping force at 70 ft.lb of torque.
They feature 80,000 lb/in2 ductile iron bodies with precision machined steel components and are available with quick change machinable aluminum, cast iron and hard jaws.
Available in manual and hydraulic models, HDL Vises and Towers give today's machinists the most options for high density applications.
Because they are built by Kurt, the originator of the precision machine vise, HDL workholding products provide the ultimate in rugged strength, extra rigidity and long-term accuracy while absorbing machining vibration.
* Kurt VB DockLock Zero-Point workholding system designed for workholding changes in seconds - another workholding technology first is Kurt's VB DockLock Zero-Point workholding system.
It provides the fastest, most accurate and repeatable method for making setup changes on all types of horizontal and vertical machining centers.
This system provides repeatable position accuracy of +/-0.0002in (+/-0.005mm) on typical part runs, high quality part finishes, no scrap parts and huge time savings.
A typical workholding setup change usually requiring 20 minutes is done in less than 2 minutes with the Kurt VB DockLock.
Kurt is the 'must see' IMTS destination for the latest Workholding Systems Technology, September 6-13, Booth E-2749, McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Request a free brochure from Kurt Manufacturing ...
