Work holding makes UK debut

From Stand G205, 1st Machine Tool Accessories will show for the first time in the UK the Kitagawa Swift Klamp, a rigid work-holding product that uses the proven HSK tool interface to provide a secure, low-interference, quick-change clamping arrangement which resists bending forces generated during metal cutting.

Developed for five-axis machining applications but equally suited to use on three- and four-axis machines, the system consists of three parts – the clamping head, work holder and workpiece. The head is supplied either as a manually or automatically operated HSK clamp, while the work holder comprises an HSK interface at the base and multiple options at the top for holding the workpiece, including flange clamps and side clamps.
