Follow on Google News | Kurt MiniLock™ Provides Small Part Precision Clamping Solution-Ideal For Machining Multiple PartsThe Kurt MiniLock is very versatile. It can be used in single holding, double holding or multiples of both single and double holding applications.
By: Steve Kane Operation of the MiniLock is similar to the original Kurt Anglock® vise design. When a quarter turn is applied to the MiniLock screw, the split clamp jaw of the MiniLock is forced both laterally and down, precisely clamping the part while preventing the part from lifting. The Kurt MiniLock is very versatile. It can be used in single holding, double holding or multiples of both single and double holding applications. By using stationary blocks or pins, two parts can be clamped using a single MiniLock. Its low profile allows for machining complete top surfaces of parts without having to re-clamp the part. Also, steps can be machined into the MiniLock jaw for machining operations that require parts to be raised above the pallet or the machine table. MiniLocks are ideal for use in dedicated fixture setups and for palletizing small parts to be loaded into receivers on machine tables. Through the use of a variety of locating blocks, workstops and MiniLocks, several similar components or a part family can be located and clamped on a single pallet. “The MiniLock is another innovative clamping option from Kurt that fills a need where small parts need to be machined in large quantities,” Manufactured to Kurt’s high precision standards, the MiniLock clamping jaw is machined of Ampco 18 aluminum bronze. The actuating screw is made of alloy steel. Available in four inch and four metric hex sizes: 0.688 inch (17.476 mm), 0.875 inch (22.250 mm), 0.938 inch (23.826 mm) and 1.125 inch (28.575 mm). Hex thickness range from 0.188 inch (4.776 mm) to 0.375 inch (9.525 mm). One package contains six MiniLocks. For more information on the Kurt MiniLock, call in USA and Canada, 1-877-226-7823.
