Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Kurt vise. You have just purchased one of
the best machine vises in the industry. The Versatile Lock 3600-Series
AngLock vise has a time proven design. The outstanding accuracy
of this product is second to none. Backed by a lifetime warranty, this
product will last forever when used and maintained properly.
The original Kurt Anglock vises are designed for precision clamping.
The “Pull-type” action of the 3600 Versatile Lock design reduces jaw
stationary deflection by at least 80%. This vise has a one-piece body
and stationary jaw design which reduce weight and increases strength
while providing .0005 clamping repeatability. It offers ultra-high
precision through many important features. Features include: Ground
sides that allow side mounting, upright and back to back mounting,
using the body through holes allows side by side mounting.
With twelve different models ranging from standard lengths to short
lengths, forward to reverse and hydraulic to air this series of vises are
truly versatile. The short reverse configuration has the added benefit
of easier programming by reducing the “reach-over” distance in the “Y”
axis. This makes it safer and easier for the operator.
The patented Anglock design allows the movable jaw to advance in
such a way that each pound of force forward induces a ½ pound force
downward which minimizes the jaw lift and increases accuracy. This
combined with the needle bearings increases jaw clamping pressure.
Other features include: 80,000 psi ductile iron body, hardened vise bed
& jaw plates, semi-hard steel screw.
