The CarvLock Model CTU6 ClusterTower is designed to hold multiple parts in eight clamping stations for maximizing machine cycle times
The CarvLock Model CTU6 ClusterTower is designed to hold multiple parts in eight clamping stations for maximizing machine cycle times. The system is built for mid-size and larger machining centers, including horizontal or vertical machining centers with a fourth axis.

The tower features four different jaw systems: machinable aluminum or ductile iron jaws (in three heights); EZLock quick-change jaw plate system; and standard hard jaw plates. The system is made from ductile iron (80,000 psi) to achieve workpiece immobility and dampen cutter-induced vibration. The material is 2.4 times (236%) more resistant to deflection from cutting forces and clamping loads than aluminum.

Accuracy is 0.001-in. from job to job. The tower features an AngLock pull-down jaw design to ensure the workpiece will be held securely and accurately. The tower is available in three standard base sizes. Custom bases with metric version also available.
