Kurt self-centering vises improve machining center
productivity by positioning and clamping workpieces precisely and quickly on a
defined symmetrical axis. Available in two sizes, these vises can be used in
any mounting position and provide a large clamping range for odd-sized
workpieces. For maximum productivity, they quickly and easily align in a series
on a machine worktable.
Centering accuracy for these vises from minimum to maximum
opening is 0.0006 in. with 0.0002 in. repeatability. Both moveable jaws are
designed with the famous Anglock. This is the unique pull-type jaw clamping
design that minimizes jaw deflection.
The self-centering vises feature durable 80,000 PSI ductile
iron bodies with precision machined steel components. This is important to
machinists who want rugged strength, extra part holding rigidity, and long-term
accuracy while absorbing machining vibration.
Additional features include: hardened jaws, hardened bed
ways, chip guards, lip seals on main screw, and optional InnerLock jaw plates
to further minimize setup time.
The two Kurt self-centering vise models are: a four inch jaw
width (Model SCD430) and a six inch jaw width (Model SCD640). Jaw opening on
the four-inch model is 6.25 in. and 8.0 in. on the six-inch model. Both are
backed by Kurt’s exclusive lifetime “Iron Clad” warranty for workmanship and
materials.
