Slim 5-axis vise with tool-free jaw
The KONTEC KSX-C2 is the new five-axis vise from SCHUNK with quick jaw change without additional tools and an active jaw pull-down effect for precise machining on six faces.
SCHUNK presents its new 5-axis vise KONTEC KSX-C2 series, designed for high-precision 6-sided machining. With its active jaw pull-down the KONTEC KSX-C2 achieves excellent results in terms of plane-parallelism and perpendicularity, and therefore creates ideal preconditions for challenging 6-sided machining. Due to a tool-free jaw quick-change system, reversible jaws for enlarging the clamping area as well as a unique basic jaw stroke of 130 mm which is second to none on the market, the vise can be quickly and precisely converted for a new range of parts. A broad range of quick-change jaws is available for this purpose. Moreover, the clamping range can be enlarged with a standardized piston rod extension.
Integrated elastomer damping
A torque wrench is used for continuously adjusting the clamping forces of the KONTEC KSX-C2, and a maximum of 40 kN at a torque of 120 Nm can be achieved. Therefore, this expert vise in 6-sided machining has a lot of power for safe holding – even in the case of minimum clamping surfaces. The forces for clamping sensitive parts can be finely adjusted. The long guiding system and the arrangement of the clamping mechanism ensure in each case a rigid, dimensionally stable set-up. The integrated elastomer damping absorbs occurring oscillations during machining, resulting in excellent workpiece surface quality and tool service life. As both, drive and adjustment mechanism of the 5-axis vise are fully encapsulated, the vise is perfectly equipped against chips, dirt and coolant.
Comprehensive standard program
The SCHUNK KONTEC KSX-C2 is maintenance-free and is offered right from the beginning in four base body lengths (330 mm, 430 mm, 500 mm, 630 mm, 800 mm) and in two different heights (175 mm, 214 mm). It seamlessly fits into the modular system for high-efficient workpiece clamping from SCHUNK and can be quickly combined with the quick-change pal-let system SCHUNK VERO-S or exchanged at a maximum repeat accuracy on the machine table. The necessary clamping pins can be directly integrated in the base body of the 5-axis vise without requiring adapter plates.
