Vises

Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Kurt designed and optimized the new XL6 XtraLong vise to be better performing than its predecessor vise the 640XL. Boasting a 14.50” opening, the XL6 manual vise clamping capacity is .50” more than the 640XL vise and accomplishes the increase even while the over length was reduced by .42” to 24.10”.

The Kurt DX6 Crossover vise design features are reportedly proven to help machinists enhance their ability to machine parts better and increase productivity. The DX6 vise mounts and locates directly onto 40mm, 50mm and 2” grid patterns. This provides for an accurate workholding setup and repeatable reference and elimination of relocating and reduces setup time.

Jergens Inc. introduces its 125mm vise and 96mm Drop & Lock pallet as a universal quick-change solution. The two work together on vertical and horizontal machining centers, and significantly open up possibilities on 5-axis and multiple-axis machining centers for increased machining access and the quick changeover of both top tooling and machineable parts.

SideWinder vises mount directly to the back of 6- or 8-inch Kurt vises and make an ideal setup when configured in tandem with two or more vises. The Kurt SideWinder vise provides vertical workholding without interfering with an existing host vise or the machine spindle.
