Unlike many competitive cam action models, this product employs
the same AngLock concept as the world famous Kurt vises. When a
quarter turn is applied to the screw, the split clamp jaw is forced
both laterally and down, precisely clamping the part and preventing
part lift at the same time. In-house tests showed zero lift when the
MiniLock was used in several grinding operations.
Features:
• By using stationary blocks or pins, two parts may be clamped
by a single MiniLock.
• The versatile MiniLock can be used in single holding, double
holding or multiples of both single and double holding applications.
• Ideal for dedicated fixturing as well as 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 parts or a part “family” can be located
on a single pallet.
• Clamping jaw made from rugged Ampco 18 aluminum bronze.
• Actuating screw is made from a special alloy steel.
• While one pallet of parts is being machined, the operator can be
unloading and loading a second similarly configured pallet away
from the machine tool.
• Steps may be machined into the clamp jaw for operations that
require parts to be raised above the pallet or machine table.
• The low profile allows for machining of complete top surfaces of
parts without having to re-clamp.
• Conveniently uses standard thread sizes and standard hex keys.
• One MiniLock package contains six MiniLocks.
• Metric version available.
