Quick Change Locators The VB DockLock system is a patented, zero-point workholding system for increasing productivity and reducing setup and changeover. The VB DockLock system integrates with new or existing workholding devices such as Kurt vises and fixtures, and provides fast, ultra accurate setup on machining centers. Time consuming setup, alignment and bolt down tasks are eliminated. The system consists of a patented hydraulic actuated locking cylinder device that positions and locks the vise or fixture onto the machine worktable. It allows the user to locate or remove the workholding from...
