Kurt VB 5-Axis Workholding System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the VB 5AX100 5 Axis Workholding System, specifically the models VB 5AX100-H and VB 5AX100-L, designed for machining on five sides with a single clamping operation. Manufactured in Germany, these systems are part of Kurt Workholding's product line.
Specifications: The VB 5AX100 system offers high clamping force up to 40 kN, with a clamping height above the machine table of 175 mm for the VB 5AX100-H and 100 mm for the VB 5AX100-L. The system allows for extended heights using mounting blocks, and the jaw width is consistent at 100 mm. Clamping width ranges from 20 to 236 mm, and the clamping depth is 8 mm.
Features: Key features include form-fit clamping with embossing pins, no flare out under tension, and extreme rigidity for maximum cutting forces. The design allows for obstruction-free machining on five sides and accommodates various workpiece shapes, including round and irregular forms. The system can be mounted on T-slot or location grid machine tables.
Components: The basic standard set includes a fixed jaw, moving jaw, clamping jaw for pins, tension spindle, extension shaft, pins, support blades, and mounting blocks. Various mounting blocks and accessories are available for different machine table configurations.
Applications: The VB 5AX100 system is highlighted in an application where Omnitool, Inc. reduced the need for two machines to one by using the system for high-speed, 5-axis roughing, face-milling, and tapping operations. This resulted in a production time reduction of up to 50%.
