the spring-loaded clamp can be tightened with a simple hand tool.
O’Rell said the patent-pending Raptor dovetail spring- loaded clamps require only 1/8" (3.18 mm) of material to hold the workpiece. That means less waste, easier prep and no distortion or clamp creep. You prepare all your parts with a single dovetail and utilize the same fixture for every part.
Steve Kane, global sales and marketing manager at Kurt Industrial Products Division, said the company has seen steady growth in sales of five-axis workholding, and he believes that is driving self-centering vises, especially those with dovetail features for secure holding.
Kane said the company’s five-axis vise offers a pull-type feature which lowers stationary deflection and helps hold parts tightly in place. Kurt’s AngLock five-axis vise allows load and unload vises easier thanks to its 0.625" (15.88-mm) stroke capa- bilities. Other five-axis vise options like Kurt’s Leader MMY Chucks and Schenke 5 Axis Vise are also available
