“Quickly align and setup any part on any machine with Kurt’s DockLock zero-point workholding system. The DockLock system provides a fast, accurate and repeatable method for making setup changes on all types of horizontal and vertical machining centers,” said a Kurt spokesperson. “With repeatable positioning accuracy to ± 0. 0002 inch on a typical part setup, the DockLock system is designed to provide high quality finishes, no scrap parts and setup time reduction. For example, a typical workholding setup change requiring 20 minutes using standard methods is done in less than 2 minutes with the DockLock from Kurt Workholding,” said the spokesperson. “The DockLock allows the user to locate or remove theworkholding from a machine, or move it offline or to another machine and/or back again in just seconds with zero-point accuracy every time.” Available in pneumatic and hydraulic models, DockLock systems may be ordered in standard, automatic and heavy duty models for most applications. The hydraulic DockLock Safe 20 model consists of a patented hydraulic actuated locking cylinder that instantly aligns and locks a vise or fixture with a clamp down force of 2,800 lbs. Per locking cylinder (12,456 newtons) and with a retention force of 9,000 lbs. Per locking cylinder (40,033 newtons). For other models, the Safe 30 has a clamp down force of 20,000 newtons, retention force of 60,000 newtons, and the Safe 50 has a clamp down force of 30,000 newtons, retention force of 90,000 newtons. Once positioned, the workholding remains immobile using the Dock- Lock. A collet connection dampens vibration tendencies in the workholding setup. “The DockLock system is a proven workholding system used throughout Europe,” reports Mike Chester, Technical Service Representative for Kurt Industrial Products. “U.S. machine operators have grown to like it because of its simplicity and ease of use. The top down design makes the fixture handling process effortless. With few components, the system is easy to keep free of chips and coolant. Also, the system’s rugged design requires minimal maintenance and ensures long life through repeated use.” See DockLock in action at Kurt’s Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=QwywsSqiJPQ& feature=plcp> For more information contact: Kurt Manufacturing Company Industrial Products Division 9445 East River Road NW Minneapolis, MN 55432 877-226-7823 workholding@kurt.com www.kurtworkholding.com
