Kurt’s MMY MultiChuck provides a simple top face operation that enables more chucks, and therefore workpieces, to be grouped closely together, not possible with traditional side face lock/unlock systems. They have the ability to clamp on both the OD and the ID.

The new Kurt Modular ToolBlox has a cast-caged design, which is lighter and more economical. Kurt’s new lighter weight-building block modules add high density and versatility to most horizontal machining centers-over 30 percent lighter than comparable size tombstones with aluminum sub-plates. It features bolt holes and a dowel pattern on each face for fast installation and removal of sub-plates and other workholding components with repeatability of 0.0002 inch. Manufactured of 80,000-PSI ductile iron, it provides a lower cost alternative to dedicated fixtures.

To improve productivity through innovative workholding, IMTS visitors will have access to Kurt’s Workholding experts to discuss new projects and existing projects that require improved throughput and reduced costs.

Drawing from a full 360 range of standard workholding products, Kurt can custom engineer a setup for virtually any need. Its product portfolio includes multiple station CNC vises, 5-axis vises, rotary table workholding for VMC’s, plus a full line of tombstones for achieving maximum high-density workholding, and accessories to complement every workholding setup.
