Precision Clamping of Multiple Parts
September 1, 2014
Kurt Workholding offers a complete line of high-density CarvLock workholding towers for manufacturers requiring precision machining of high volumes of parts.
The CarvLock towers are available with eight or twelve clamping stations in both manual and hydraulic models. The towers are equipped with easily changeable jaws.
Kurt's complete line of CarvLock tower system options allows manufactures to configure one that fits their exact needs. They are suited for use on mid-size and larger horizontal machining centers. Each tower station has either a 3- or 4-inch jaw opening and provides repeatable clamping to 0.0002 inch with a maximum clamping force of 5,870 to 7,460 lbs., depending on model. It does this achieving true workpiece immobility while damping cutter-induced vibration.
Kurt's CarvLock Tower systems feature self-adjusting holding block of either front or back jaw for clamping the same or dissimilar sized parts. Fast manual operation is enhanced with the adjustable pre-load feature that reduces handle turns for opening and closing clamping stations. The Hydraulic CarvLock Towers achieve fast part clamping by eliminating the need to manually clamp the piece part.
The CarvLock Towers are precision manufactured of ductile iron for maximum strength and rigidity. The elevated column design makes clearing chips and coolant from the clamping area fast and easy. Additional features include jaw options for specific applications including: hard jaws, machinable aluminum and machinable ductile iron jaws plus aluminum fixture plates. For maximum flexibility, jaws are indexable 180 degrees.
Like all Kurt manufactured workholding products, the complete line of CarvLock towers has a Lifetime Iron Clad Warranty.
