Kurt MaxLock 350 multi-axis vice incorporates Anglock for decreasing stationary jaw deflection
1 min read
Kurt's MaxLock 350 5-axis vice uses the company's Anglock feature that is designed to reduce part lift to a minimum. Parts are held with maximum rigidity for close tolerance repeatability in all axes.
Ideal for clamping parts for continuous 5-axis cutting of complex part, says Kurt, the MaxLock 350 delivers up to 10,000 lb of clamping force at 60 ft-lb of input torque. Its 0.625 inch stroke allows for a wide range of clamping before changing the set-up.
The MaxLock 350 is made from precision machined components and the modular design is adjustable to handle any desired clamping length – limited only by the size of the machine table.
The vice is available with screw lengths of 8, 12, 18 and 24 inches with jaw opening from 0.5 to 15.5 inches. The MaxLock 350 also has quick alignment features. It mounts on 2-inch grid patterns when removed from the riser and T-slots, or centre hole grids of 100 mm (with the long riser) and under. It has 0.5 or 0.625-inch holes for fast mounting on risers using sine keys. Auxiliary clamping slots give further flexibility.
The vice is designed to keep the mechanism free of chips for cleaner, smoother operation and fasting loading. Options available on the MaxLock 350 include double step 40RC jaws with CBN coating and carvable 40RC jaws complete with mounting holes. Replacement vice screws can be easily machined and changed in the vice to accommodate a broad range of part sizes.
