The new UKB hard top jaw system*

Yes. Yet another innnovation from FORKARDT!

FORKARDT once again has advanced gripping technology with a completely new design of hard top jaws. From a synthesis of conventional hard jaws and insert jaws, the new Universal Claw Jaw System has been conceived. This new system combines all the advantages of both conventional jaw types, in a single new, better and cheaper system.

The Problems:
So often hard jaws do not transmit the necessary clamping forces needed. Claw jaws, on the other hand, sometimes leave unwanted marks on workpieces.

The FORKARDT Solution:
The new UKB Universal Claw Jaw System! A hard jaw body with very special inserts securely embedded. Simple but effective. UKB's are suitable for a wide range of applications, combining the advantages of both types of conventional hard jaws.

• 30 % greater gripping torque compared to ordinary hard jaws.
• Reduced wear and extended life due to substantially increased hardness.
• Universal mounting for all com- mon power chucks (e.g. repla- ces HB hard jaws)
• Multiple re-grinding of worn jaws without loss of surface hardness.

• Combining the advantages of hard jaws and claw jaws in one unique design.
• In summary: Better load transmission, reduced wear, and less expensive! All giving you higher productivity -
