Vise for Extra Capacity Clamping

Up to 28.5" jaw opening and 12,000 lbs. of clamping force make Kurt's XL 8" vises suitable for large tool and die, molds and machining extra large parts in automotive, aerospace and oil drilling industries. Kurt XL vises can also function as a receiver for other workholding set-ups.

"Kurt XL vises feature the Anglock design, an exclusive pull-type jaw clamping design feature that reduces stationary jaw deflection by at least 80%," said a company spokesperson. Kurt's Anglock design prevents parts from lifting upward under heavy clamping loads. A hardened spherical segment mechanism produces "all directional" alignment of the jaw components and vise body so clamped parts remain stationary for accurate machining operations at all times.

These Kurt XL vises have durable 80,000 PSI ductile iron bodies with precision machined steel components. "The heavy ductile iron bodies provide extra part holding rigidity and long-term accuracy while absorbing machining vibration," said the spokesperson.

All sides of these Kurt XL vises are machined accurate to 0.001" for precise and easy alignment in multiples. They can be used as receivers for other workholding devices. Also, two of these XL vises can be mounted back-to-back and used vertically in a tombstone machine set-up.

Kurt XL vises are available in 6" and 8" jaw widths in manual, hydraulic and pneumatic operation. A reverse model is also available that minimizes reach-over distance for unusually large parts to make part loading easier for the operator. "Also, part programming is easier with this model in the Y-axis positive direction," said the spokesperson.
