Workholding system adds capacity

Kurt's new workholding kits for trunion fixture rotary tables allow users to add clamping stations and increase vertical machining centre productivity.

The kits include a 4-sided column with 8 clamping stations that provide repeatable precision clamping to 0.0002 inch. Available in sizes for integration into most popular indexer models, the Kurt Rotary Table Workholding stations deliver up to 5,870 lbs of clamping force at 60 ft lbs of torque. The system features self-adjusting holding block of either front or back jaw for clamping the same or dissimilar sized parts. Jaws index 180°. To further enhance fast operation, an adjustable pre-load feature reduces handle turns for opening and closing clamping stations.
