New Workholding Systems Products

Modular Tombstones help build high density workholding.

Available in 2 and 4 face models and 4 different sizes, ToolBlox(TM) modular tombstones are highly rigid, A36 HRS steel and help to attain workpiece immobility and to dampen cutter induced vibration. They accommodate all types of workholding devices including single, double, and multiple station vises, either manual or hydraulic. Bolt holes and dowel patterns are provided on each face for...

Workholding System is designed for fragile components.

Suited for difficult-to-clamp components, FIXTURBLOKÃ-® uses metal alloy as fixturing medium to encapsulate components, distributing pressure points across surface. Fixturing metals used to form retaining block solidify at temperatures from 140-720Ã-ºF. After machining, component is released from fixturing medium by mechanical operation or melt-off process. Unit accommodates components...

Vises offer repeatable part clamping solutions.

High Density Long Vise has two 4 in. capacity stations with hard jaws that provide repeatable clamping up to 0.001 in. Manual model delivers up to 6,316 lb clamping force at 70 lb torque, while hydraulic model provides 7,800 lb of force at 5,000 psi. Suited for holding very large parts, Model D810 has 10 in. jaw opening and 11,600 lb clamping force. Available in 4-face and 2-face models,...

Positive Lock System provides workpiece holding solution.

Positive Lock system creates form-locking connection between vise jaws and workpiece. Indentations on workpiece interlock with corresponding serrations on vise jaws, resulting in hold that will not shift. Only 0.12 in. of material is in vise, and near-complete 5-sided access is made available without re-clamping. Rough hot-rolled and saw-cut stock can be used in place of pre-milled pieces.

Workholding System offers modular design.

Quick-Pallets(TM) modular universal workholding system uses vacuum to hold special templated plates or pallets for part setups and changeovers; changing pallet requires no tooling or clamping. On machine bed, units are located in same spot every time because they are registered using beveled-boss in cavity system. Configurations include T-nut with pneumatic short-stroke clamps, Vacumate...

Workholding Systems provide repeatable part clamping.

SeraLock Towers, Pallets, and WedgeLock self-aligning workholding modules allow machining of like and unlike workpieces all in same setup. System employs reusable clamping components that can be mixed and matched to hold any size part. Towers and pallets have V shaped serrated surfaces for alignment of WedgeLock clamping modules. Towers are available in 4-, 2-, and single-sided units, with base...

Workholding Systems are customized to maximize throughput.

Tombstones are offered in steel for high rigidity or cast iron for vibration damping. Vises mounted on tombstones are designed for close tolerances. Hydraulic-actuated fixtures feature internal hydraulic lines providing clean, safe operation. Workholding systems are ergonomically designed and include pre-clamping methods for easy loading and unloading of parts.

Work Positioner holds jet-engine compressor housings.

With 21 in. dia, 3-Jaw Work Positioner grips and locates jet engine compressor housings for CNC deburring operations. It provides 1.00 in. jaw movement (2.00 in. on diameter), while 2 sets of top jaws provide grip diameter range from 6-36 in. Additional applications include water jet cutting, material handling, palletizing, and depalletizing.

Clamps suit workholding applications in welding environments.

Series PB Clamps employ hardened helical spline with 3 hardnened drive balls. Two sizes with left and right rotations are available. Adjustable rear plug allows arm position to be adjusted up to 90Ã-

Clamps provide variable-angle positioning.

Lightweight Positioning Clamps, machined from 6061 bar-stock aluminum, feature up to 90Ã-
