ToolBlox

Kurt ToolBlox feature an open-cage design weighing 30 percent less than a solid tombstone with aluminum subplates, making easier handling for the CNC machine table and shuttle systems. The ToolBlox class 30 gray iron iron construction continues to provide the vibration damping for a rigid setup even compared to much heavier tombstone alternatives.

One-Touch Manual Clamps

Fixtureworks offers an extensive new lineup of One-Touch manual clamps. One-Touch clamps offer easy and efficient clamping and unclamping of a workpiece in one simple operation. Each clamp is designed to eliminate the need for tools when applying the clamping force and helps reduce setup time and increases productivity. The lineup of One-Touch clamps includes swing, push, pull, retractable, thrust, snap and side clamps in a range of clamping force.

Unclamp Delay Value

Hydraulic pressure on work supports diminishes faster than other clamps in the system. This can result is unplanned part movement or premature work support wear. Postponing the work support unclamp is the objective, and Vektek has developed an Unclamp Delay Valve to do just that.

Mitee-Bite Products releases the patent pending Modular XYZ Xpansion Pins for tombstone, grid plate and fixture plate applications. They provide accurate location, repeatability and high holding forces for securing parts and components on the ID.
