MiniLock

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the MINILOCK models MT4, MT5, MT6, and MT8, which are clamping devices using the AngLock concept for precise part clamping without lift.
Specifications: Each model has specific dimensions and capabilities, including hex size, screw size, and clamping force. The MT4 model, for example, has a hex size of 0.688 inches and a clamping force of 987 lbs, while the MT8 model has a hex size of 1.125 inches and a clamping force of 2600 lbs.
Features: The MINILOCK can clamp multiple parts using stationary blocks or pins and is suitable for single or double holding applications. It is ideal for dedicated fixturing and palletizing small parts. The clamping jaw is made from Ampco 18 aluminum bronze, and the actuating screw is made from a special alloy steel.
Usage Recommendations: The document suggests creating a thread-free zone for greater differential between workpieces and emphasizes the need for full thread engagement when clamping on one side only. Optional C’Bored tapped holes can be used for larger part tolerance differentials.
Additional Information: The document includes a table with detailed measurements and specifications for each model, such as screw length, suggested tapped hole location, and maximum part size differential. The MINILOCK package contains six units, and a metric version is available.

MiniLock-1

Unlike many competitive cam action models, this product employs the same AngLock concept as the world famous Kurt vises. When a quarter turn is applied to the screw, the split clamp jaw is forced both laterally and down, precisely clamping the part and preventing part lift at the same time. In-house tests showed zero lift when the MiniLock was used in several grinding operations. Features: • By using stationary blocks or pins, two parts may be clamped by a single MiniLock. • The versatile MiniLock can be used in single holding, double holding or multiples of both single and double holding applications. • Ideal for dedicated fixturing as well as for palletizing small parts to be loaded into receivers on machine tables. • Through the use of a variety of locating blocks, workstops and MiniLocks, several similar parts or a part “family” can be located on a single pallet. • Clamping jaw made from rugged Ampco 18 aluminum bronze. • Actuating screw is made from a special alloy steel. • While one pallet of parts is being machined, the operator can be unloading and loading a second similarly configured pallet away from the machine tool. • Steps may be machined into the clamp jaw for operations that require parts to be raised above the pallet or machine table. • The low profile allows for machining of complete top surfaces of parts without having to re-clamp. • Conveniently uses standard thread sizes and standard hex keys. • One MiniLock package contains six MiniLocks. • Metric version available. www.kurtworkholding.com | Toll Free Phone 1-877-226-7823 | Toll Free Fax 1-877-226-7828 | Phone 763-574-8309 | Fax 612-623-3902
