Clamping System solution

MultiChuck MMY Concentric Clamping System providing another option for maximizing high productivity and precision with high density workholding.

Kurt's MultiChuck MMY product line consists of manual self-centering static workholding for machining centers, milling machines and grinders. These chucks integrate with Kurt's high density workholding towers and other devices to provide the ultimate in high productivity and high precision workholding.

Kurt's MultiChuck MMY provides a simple top face operation that enables more chucks, and therefore workpieces, to be "banked" closely together, not possible with traditional side face lock/unlock systems. Additional features include:

  • Available with two or three jaws -- MultiChuck MMY combines fast initial jaw travel with controlled second-stage clamping to provide a large jaw opening with high gripping force.

  • Jaw strokes are 4mm, 5mm and 10mm across the four variants and the low height (from 25mm to 40mm across the range) maximizes the machine's Z axis.

  • MultiChuck MMY can be provided as standard in a range of chuck sizes (80, 100, 125, 150mm) and in a range of base dimensions that fit all slotted machine tables.

  • Available for external or internal clamping - satisfies both first and second operations in the same machining cycle. Provides continuous output of finished components.
