KONTEC KSC3-K Traditional Vise

The SCHUNK KONTEC KSC3-K vise blends the high clamping force and precision of the KSC3 series with a single-acting, fixed-jaw format. With the same nickel-plated, sealed construction as the KSC3 and the addition of a quick jaw-change design, the KSC3-K is a powerful, adaptable vise for any machine shop aiming to minimize re-clamping errors.

Key Features

• High-Precision Fixed Jaw | The fixed jaw includes a transverse positioning groove enabling the KSC3-K to securely clamp parts that have one finished face, allowing for precise 6-sided machining when used in combination with centric vises on multi-sided tombstones
• Heavy-Duty Clamping Performance | Provides the same impressive clamping forces as the KSC3 centric vises; the tension-clamping design eliminates base bending under load, maintaining parallelism and precision on critical finishes
• Corrosion-Resistant & Enclosed | Features a nickel-plated base for corrosion protection and durability in coolant-rich environments, with a spindle mechanism encapsulated against chips and debris guaranteeing reliable, low-maintenance use in production
• Quick Jaw Change Capability | Jaw swaps are done with just two screws reducing downtime when switching between different part shapes or sizes; the wide range of jaw styles (serrated, soft, step jaws, etc.) are available to tackle new clamping tasks
• Modular and Automation-Ready | Integrated VERO-S interface enables mounting to a zero-point pallet alongside centric vises for a flexible machining cell, speeding up changeovers and allowing mixed clamping strategies in one setup
