3.1.1
Multiple vice (main application)
The KSM2 has been designed for clamping
several unfinished and/or machined
workpieces.
When the device is used as a multiple vice, it
is usual to position a fixed jaw and one or
more adjustable jaws on the clamping rail and
fix these with a buckle.
As a general principle the workpieces to be
machined should not be placed on the
gearing of the clamping rail; instead,
appropriate workpiece supports should be
used.
The adjustable jaws are fitted with suitable clamping jaws to suit the application:
Pull-down jaw "grip"
Parallel clamping jaw
Pendulum jaw "grip"
The workpiece is clamped from above via the slanted clamping jaw, using an M10 clamping
screw.
The horizontal stroke of the clamping jaw is between 3.7 and 4.8 mm depending on the type.
The clamping force is built up mechanically and the gear ratio of the force is linear throughout
the clamping range.
The maximum clamping force of 30 kN is achieved with a torque of 50 Nm.
Exceeding the maximum torque results in damage to the clamping mechanism.
