OK-VISE at the Finnish National Skills Competition - Taitaja 2012

The Finnish National Skills Competition Taitaja is the largest annual event in which vocational students compete for Finnish Championships in various skills categories. In 2012, the event was held at the Paviljonki Congress and Trade Fair Centre in Jyväskylä on 24 – 26 April 2012 and attracted 42 027 visitors over three days.

The slogan of the event was “Find out what makes you tick”.

The Taitaja2012 Jyväskylä Event was organised by the Jyväskylä Educational Consortium in cooperation with Central Finland based companies, organisations and educational institutions.

OK-VISE was one of the sponsors of this competition and the OK-VISE grid-plate set with rails was used in the CNC milling competition.

The CNC Milling/Turning was an individual competition and it had 8 contestants. The milling competition focussed on chipping skills. The competitors were given a blank, some technical drawings and instructions. The competitors then made the required product using the materials provided by the organisers. The products were made by using a CNC Machining Centre and a manual turning lathe. The competitors used the CNC Machining Centre to make the necessary settings and programme for the machine tool in question, and then made their product. In manual turning, the competitors make a product on the basis of a technical drawing by using the turning tool they have chosen.

New approach in low-profile clamps

When our product range of low-profile clamps is expanding, we have now found out that it is more logical to change the way how we categorize our low- profile clamps.

In our new brochure, and also in www, we categorize our clamps based on their type, not their size (A,B,D,F) like before.

For time being, you can use in www both ways to find information of our low-profile clamps.

Expanding the OK-VISE Product Family

OK-VISE has developed new products to meet the changing needs of our customers. These include a model with two self-adjustable jaws (instead of one self-adjustable jaw and one smooth jaw) which comes in three sizes, and two combo models: machinable + smooth jaw; additional piece + smooth jaw, which both come in four sizes. These new models create new possibilities for clamping different types of work-pieces.

Models with two self-adjustable jaws: BK2-VT-E, DK2-VT-E, DK2-VTI-E

Additional piece and smooth jaw combo models: BK2-VT-TS, DK2-VT-TS, DK2-VTI-TS, FK2-VT-TS

Machinable and smooth jaw combo models: BK2-VT+3S, DK2-VT+5S, DK2-VTI+5S, FK2-VT+5S

Pull-down sets

OK-VISE single-wedge clamps can be transformed into single-wedge pull-down clamps by using a pull-down set.
Earlier bushings and plates were sold separately, now it is more economical to buy a set.

Sets are available for B-, D- and F-series single-wedge clamps.
For example, when used with the BK2-VT, DK2-VT or FK2-VT clamps, which we recommend, you get the very same clamp that is sold with the product codes BK2-VT-PD, DK2-VT-PD and FK2-VT-PD.

The New O-series

Some of our customers prefer our economy-series, which works sufficiently well in applications where absolute repeatability and accuracy of the clamp is not a necessity.

We have changed the design, so that now the most significant visual difference between BK2-VT-O and BK2-VT-SO clamps is the wedge top, which is no longer ground.
Our smallest series is only available as the economy model (AK2-VT-SO)

It is noteworthy that even with these technical specifications, which are rather modest in our standard, these clamps outperform most of the competition. However, we still recommend ground versions for professional use.
