KONTEC KSC-D Dual-Station Vise
Double the Clamping. Half the Setup Time.
The SCHUNK KNOTEC KSC-D is a dual-station vise (or double vise) engineered for machining multiple parts on one setup. With a patented "third-hand" function that securely holds the first workpiece while the second hand is actuated, this vise is a total standout. This vise's extremely flat design and light weight make it ideal for automation setups including locading and high-volume production.
| Key Features | |
| Third-Hand Function | Innovatively holds two workpieces independently; load the first part and it will stay clamped with spring tension while the other part is positioned |
| Low-Profile | Extremely flat build, maximizing vertical space and minimizing deflection |
| Rigid Construction | Clamping is done by tension/pull-down rather than push, preventing base body bending even under high forces |
| High Clamping Forces & Reliability | Each station supplies strong clamping force for secure machining applications; low-maintenance operation enabled by encapsulated spindle and base jaws |
| VERO-S Quick-Change Interface | Comes ready to integrate with SCHUNK's VERO-S zero-point system, drastically reducing changeover time in automated cells |
| Available Accessories | Compatible with the broader KSC family of jaws and accessories |

How Much Is Setup Time Costing You?
Every changeover means idle spindle time. Multi-part fixturing slashes setup frequency — so your machines spend more hours cutting and less time waiting.
