Cast Iron Tooling Column Additions
January 1, 2025
Jergens Cast Iron Tooling Columns now available with Ball Lock and QLS mounting for broader quick-change capabilities on horizontal machining applications.
Jergens cast iron tooling columns are now available with Ball Lock and QLS mounting. The addition of the two top tool mounting systems provides even greater possibilities for a wider range of horizontal machining with quick change.
Ball Lock provides increased capability using larger production vises and plate work, while QLS makes the connection for smaller solutions, such as OK Vise and Jergens' 5CV self-centering vises.
Columns can be mounted via direct mounting or Zero Point System (ZPS), offering quick change for the entire set-up.
New column styles include square, cross and rectangular. The square and cross styles are suited for high density multipart fixtures or incorporating multiple operations into a single column. The cross style allows the added benefit of increased spindle access near the column, eliminating the need for extra-long tools. The larger upright faces of the rectangular columns are designed for applications involving larger workpieces.
Jergens tooling columns are customizable as well as easily integrated into full custom design and build projects. Popular patterns and methods include tapped grid, bushed and tapped grid for modular fixturing applications, or for quick-change, add either Ball Lock receiver bushings or ZPS modules.
The single piece, stress-relieved class 40 cast iron construction is engineered for maximum rigidity applications. These columns are made in the USA to increase horizontal machining potential and provide a solid basis for custom workholding to suit specific customer needs.
