Robots load, Vektek holds

This Vektek Inc. video shows how manufacturing is a relay race like no other during the tool loading and unloading. The success to machining parts can only be achieved when every step of every process is efficiently and successfully performed. Vektek products are designed to facilitate the latest technology in CNC processing.

Strongest, lowest profile clamp just got stronger

Mitee-Bite Products introduces the Pitbull® Wear Plate. This shim provides a hard barrier between Pitbull® Clamp and fixture, preventing distortion of back wall when using aluminum or mild steel fixtures. Simple solution to keep fixtures light, maintain full clamp travel and holding forces at max pressure. Refurbish old fixtures or add to existing aluminum fixtures to maximize machining capabilities.

 

Flex Locators

Flex Locator System consists of tapered pins and receiving bushings. In combination, these parts are designed to be mounted on fixture bases and plates to allow for highly accurate locating and positioning with repeatability of 0.01 mm. Fastener-receptacle pairs replace nut-and-bolt assembly so that operators swap out fixture plates and other automation components without the use of tools and with excellent repeatability.

Adaptix Soft Jaw

The Adaptix Soft Jaw uses adjustable fingers and interchangeable tips to grip a wide variety of parts or workpieces during the computer numerical control (CNC) machining process. It was specially engineered to be a one-size-fits-all alternative to standard, single-application aluminum soft jaws.
