—Kurt Workholding
Kurt Workholding announced the launch of its new Precision Force 5-Axis MaxLockTM vise lineup featur- ing three new models with three avail- able jaw options. Robot-ready Kurt PF-series vises offer new user-friendly features including easy-to-adjust lash and 52mm spacing for automation- ready mounting systems to adapt to competitors’ zero-point systems.
The company reports the new quick centerline adjustment makes centerl TURNPWR was developed to satisfy the wants and needs of lathe machinists where manual and automated operation
are both useful and needed. TURN- PWR promises to enable the user to maximize throughput by significantly reducing set-up time, scrap and other non-productive operations, thereby increasing efficiency, productivity and profitability.
The well-known ACU-RITE con- versational programming format for controls is a user-friendly method of writing part programs and included in the TURNPWR, however G-code (ISO) programming can also be used. Basic editing of G-code programs is also possible.
On the new TURNPWR, a 12.1” high-resolution display boasts a screen layout that is clearly arranged and user
friendly. Preview graphics in the edi- tor illustrate the individual machining steps for programming the contour as well as corresponding tool path gener- ated using only dimensions pulled from a production drawing. It also accepts DXF files.
TURNPWR is a closed-loop system with positioning feedback provided by rotary encoders inside the motor assemblies. When fitted with the (optional) ACU-RITE precision glass scales (1 μm/0.00005” resolution), TURNPWR also includes Position- TracTM, an advanced unique feature that enables the user to easily, quickly and accurately re-establish work piece zero after shutting down or power loss.
