Minneapolis, Minnesota: A strong lineup of advanced workholding products bolsters Kurt’s 360° advantage for improved machining productivity. See it all at Kurt IMTS 2010, Booth W-2423, September 13-18.

Kurt’s new HDM690 Vise with a full 9-inch jaw opening clamps larger parts with repeatable 0.001 inch accuracy and minimal stationary jaw deflection. Features rigid stationary jaw with top-down bolting, tall body design to reduce deflection, high precision roller bearings, and specially hardened vise screw mechanism.

This vise distributes clamping force evenly and precisely across the full jaw surface. The AngLock spherical segment in the moveable jaw reduces jaw lift. The pull-type body design reduces stress in the 80,000-PSI ductile iron body, resulting in more accurate clamping.
