Pull Lock Work Gripper provides part length control.

Designed to deliver part stability during machining center operations, PLS Series Pull Down Work Grippers deliver consistent gripping forces along with axial, pull down actuation for length control on Z axis. Product is fully sealed against chip and coolant contamination, and optional seating detection system is available. Available in 4, 6, and 8 in dia, 2 or more units can be grouped together...

Modular Workholding System speeds setup time.

Quick-Pallets are placed on machining bed, keyed to fixed position, and secured via vacuum. Changing pallet requires no tooling or clamping and reduces setup time. Parts can be setup on Quick-Pallets outside of machine and switched out in seconds with Quick-Pallet in machine. To insure X, Y, Z location repeatability, units are registered using beveled-boss in cavity system.

Clamping Vise is resistant to contamination.

KONTEC KSL stationary clamping vise allows cubic workpieces to be clamped onto universal vertical machining centers or any 4th or 5th axes table. Available in 3 sizes with base jaw widths of 100, 125, or 160 mm, mounting holes located in jaw allow mounting of workpiece stops from both sides. Actuation is done from side of the fixed jaw via allen key equipped with ratchet, and vise securely clamps...

Aluminum Sandwich Plates support large workpieces.

Available in standard size of 1,200 x 800 x 150 mm, Sandwich Plates feature standard grid of 200 mm, which allows positioning of workpiece supports over entire surface. Support comprises base plate with bayonet catch for connection to sandwich plate, and components of Alufix modular fixturing system made of high-tensile aluminum. Several workpieces can be fixed simultaneously on sandwich plates...
