If you are a machinist in need of flexible 5-axis workholding tool, the MaxLock HP420 5-axis vises from Kurt maybe a solution. These vises combat jaw deflection and part lift with Kurt AngLock design and Kurt’s new patented lift control system, for 5-axis workholding rigidity. For precision parts, this could mean the difference between machining pass or rejects.
Providing ±0.0005” repeatability, these MaxLock HP420 Vises have a centre line that easily adjusts to the center of the table rotation. Clamping can be achieved for both O.D. and I.D. while holding parts up to 6.690” long.
For maximum workholding flexibility, these vises are designed with two sets of jaws – serrated and dovetail. Each jaw set provides three different clamping areas—at the bed, in the middle of the jaw and at the top of the jaw. Another important feature, vise jaws adjust from either side of the vise and have an opening capability of 2.190” to 6.690” depending on vise model and jaw option selected.
In addition, vise bodies are precision machined from 60,000psi ductile iron for maximum rigidity and vibration damping. These vises have hardened ways, 4140 heat treated steel jaws, 0.75” diameter screws for extra strength and heavy duty bolt down design with 0.5” cap screws. The vise screw is internally hexed for a smaller footprint.
