Electrical Equipment & Systems

Modular 5-Axis Vise decreases stationary jaw deflection.

Equipped with AnglockÂ-® feature that minimizes part lift, MaxLock(TM) 350 holds parts with up to 10,000 lb clamping force at 60 lb-ft input torque for max rigidity and close tolerance repeatability in all axes. It enables obstruction-free, high-speed machining in all 5 axes and is constructed with steel components. Featuring 0.625 in. stroke, vise is adjustable to handle any desired clamping...

Drawbars require no manual tightening.
Food Processing & Preparation

Drawbars require no manual tightening.

Used on knee-type milling machines to speed tool changes, Automatic PowerLockÂ-® Drawbars are actuated by pushing button while Mechanical Model is actuated by pushing lever. Both models ensure uniform collet tightening without hand tools or manual tightening. They prevent under-tightening and tool slip as well as over-tightening and drawbar breakage. Operated on shop air supply, products...

Machining Towers align parts accurately.

SeraLock(TM) Towers have 8 or more clamping stations with serrated mounting surfaces, suitable for small and mid-size horizontal and vertical machining centers. Serrations on mating surfaces are machined so that exact match is created between surfaces, and no special equipment or skill is required to align clamping components. Spacing or pitch of serrations allows use of variety of short stroke...
