When it comes to precision, repeatability and maximum clamping force in modern CNC machining, Kurt Workholding continues to set the industry standard. For UK manufacturers looking to optimise cycle times, reduce setup errors and safeguard high-value workpieces, investing in premium workholding solutions is critical.
1. Unmatched Clamping Precision & Rigidity
In high-speed CNC milling and turning, even micro-movements can destroy part tolerances and ruin expensive tooling. Kurt vises are engineered from high-ductile iron to provide maximum structural integrity, ensuring zero flex under heavy cutting loads.
2. Reduced Part Jaw Lift (AngLock® Technology)
One of the biggest headaches in traditional machining is jaw lift, where the movable jaw lifts slightly during tightening, throwing off Z-axis accuracy. Kurt’s signature design pulls the movable jaw downward as it clamps forward, locking parts down flat every single time.
3. Built for Diverse Machining Applications
Whether you are operating 3-axis VMCs, complex 5-axis machining centers or automated cell setups, Kurt offers specialized configurations including:
- Single-station precision vises for general job shop work.
- Dual-station vises to double table capacity and throughput.
- 5-axis self-centering vises for maximum tool clearance on complex geometries.
4. Long-Term Return on Investment
While lower-cost alternatives may seem attractive initially, the cost of premature wear, frequent recalibration, and scrapped parts far outweighs the savings. Kurt workholding products are built to withstand harsh coolant environments and heavy shop floor production for decades.
