The Schunk KSC-F is pitched as an all-rounder for raw and finished part machining, and is suitable for manual and automated machine loading. According to the company, the vice demonstrates a quick adjustment of the clamping range, along with a lightweight and robust design. The sizes KSC-F 80, KSC-F 125 and KSC-F 160 are designed for the common machine tool pallet sizes of 320 by 320 mm, 400 by 400 mm and 500 by 500 mm.
Schunk’s KSC-F works in tandem with the new KSC 6-jaw gripper vice, and this combination will be on show at the Seco event. The six-fold grip-jaw system performs well when processing high-strength materials, while its safe clamping configuration can resist extreme lateral forces when machining difficult-to-process materials, says Schunk.
Also at the event will be the VERO-S NSE3 modular clamping system with integral quick-lock cone seal, which prevents chips or dirt from lodging in the interface. With a pull-down force of 8 or 28 kN, and activated turbo function, the NSE3 offers increased dimensional stability. As a result, high tilting moments and transverse forces are said to be reliably absorbed when parts are clamped at the base for machining.
Schunk will be demonstrating its technology on two machine tools at Inspiration through Innovation.
