Quick-Release Pallet for 5-Axis Workholding

Kurt Workholding has introduced a quick-release pallet for 5-Axis Workholding featuring a release using a single button press and easy mounting with industry-standard, 96 mm pull-stud spacing.

The Kurt MPW420 Quick-Release Pallet is designed to be mounted onto a machine table with two through bolts and then actuated with the press of a mechanical push button to remove or mount a 5-axis vise on the pallet in the machine. When the button is depressed by a robot or by using a small tool, the pull studs are released. A vise with pull studs is automatically locked into place when pressed down onto the pallet. Once the Kurt MPW Pallet is mounted in the machine, it takes only seconds to mount or remove a vise, making set-ups or multivise operations easy.

Kurt PFW420, PFW440 and PFW460 5-axis vise models dock on the pallet using four pull studs with 96 mm spacing and offer quality design and construction for CNC workholding. Kurt PFW vises have 4" wide jaws and come in three sizes with openings between 2.625" and 6.625". The 96 mm universal pull stud spacing also accommodates nonKurt brand 5-axis vises.

"Our new vise and pallet options represent a shift in the way we are thinking about product design and compatibility," said Jeff Lenz, Executive Vice President, Proprietary Products, Kurt Manufacturing. "The new zero-point lineup allows customers to mix and match pallets and vises for quick set-ups and more flexibility. We are also bringing 96 mm mounting to more traditional machining vises like the DX6 so this system will work across multiple machine applications."
