Fraser, Michigan – Ultra-low profile TriGrip carbide gripper inserts are designed for ultra-low profile 0.14" (3.5mm) clamping with no dovetail workpiece preparation. These patented triangular grippers feature two rows of teeth at different angles with a 5° taper to maximize the pull-down effect, divide the clamping force, absorb vibration, and allow for high stability and secure workholding. Already integrated with the TriMax line of vises, the TriGrip inserts are ideal for upgrading existing vise jaws and more.
With only 3.5mm of clamp surface needed to securely hold the workpiece, TriGrip workholding inserts are ideal for 5-axis machining operations. These durable inserts combine a tough-coated cemented carbide with specialized teeth and triangular shapes that penetrate materials including steel, hardened steel/titanium (up to 50HRC to 54HRC) and aluminum.
TriGrip workholding inserts offer advantages over traditional clamping systems including exceptional clamping stability, no need for pre-machining or dovetailing workpieces, vibration dampening and allowing for very secure holding at lower clamping forces. This results in a higher cutting rate and less waste of materials than traditional clamping systems.
