Open-Cage Design Tombstone
September 1, 2016
"Kurt ToolBlox feature an open-cage design weighing 30% less than a solid tombstone with aluminum subplates, designed for easier handling for the CNC machine table and shuttle systems," said a company spokesperson. "The ToolBlox class 30 grey iron iron construction provides the vibration dampening for a rigid set-up even compared to much heavier tombstone alternatives."
Each Toolblox face features pre-machined bolt holes and dowel pattern for quick change of all components with repeatability up to 0.0002". Optional hole patterns and keyways can be specified at time of order. A Kurt PinLock mounting system can also be used in combination with ToolBlox to secure to machine tables or with Kurt fixture plates and workholding devices to make mounting faster.
Kurt ToolBlox come in either two face or four face configuration and are available in standard base sizes of 400 mm or 500 mm. ToolBlox can be purchased separately or with a wide variety of vises, workholding systems, subplates and quick change mounting systems.
"For powered clamping applications, ToolBlox open-cage design provides a convenient internal location for mounting hydraulic and pneumatic plumbing and components," said the spokesperson. Kurt has a variety of hydraulic pumps for both single-acting or double-acting systems. Consult the Kurt factory for all available powered options.
