Revamped 5-Axis Vise Lineup

Kurt Workholding offers the Precision Force 5-Axis MaxLock vise lineup featuring three new models with three available jaw options. "Robot-ready Kurt PF-series vises offer new user-friendly features including easy-to-adjust lash and 52 mm spacing for automation-ready mounting systems to adapt to competitors' zero-point systems," said a company spokesperson.

The new Quick Centerline Adjustment is designed to make centerline adjustment fast and efficient and keep parts accurately positioned. New spring-loaded gibs keep parts square and are designed to maximize part-positioning repeatability through multiple cycles.

Kurt's PF 420, PF 440 and PF 460 vises come with standard 4" jaw width and jaw openings ranging from 2.625" to 6.625" for a variety of workholding applications. PF-series vises replace the previous Kurt HP models and feature the patented AngLock design to minimize jaw lift and deflection. The AngLock design naturally pushes the vise jaws down and forward, allowing greater surface contact on parts and maximizing holding strength with less clamp force.

"We wanted to bring a family of 5-axis vises to market that holds parts securely, keeps parts square with excellent repeatability and that are reliable and affordable," said Steve Kane, Kurt Workholding Sales and Marketing Manager. "We are confident that the PF-series vises will address our customers' workholding requirements and reduce operational costs. Available in three jaw configurations, with either carvable, dovetail or serrated jaws, customers can save the added expense of buying a jaw set they do not need with a PF-series vise. All jaw sets are also sold complete and separately."
