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.

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

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.

More info available on the product pages

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.

In Memoriam

With deep regret, we announce that the founder of Kytola Group, Mr. Olli Kytölä passed away in Jyväskylä, Finland on the 8th of November, 2009 at the age of 82.

Olli Kytölä’s personality uniquely combined a pronounced enthusiasm for innovation, respect for high-quality work, and genuine care for his employees. His life style was humble. Olli Kytölä derived deep personal satisfaction from overcoming complex technical challenges. His creativity extended over his whole lifetime, and was best fulfilled when technical solutions were productized to serve industry needs around the world.

Olli Kytölä was a second generation entrepreneur in his family, representing in total more than 100 years of entrepreneurship. His desire was to welcome the third generation on board to continue the prosperous family business. Therefore he organized a seasoned Board of Directors to complement the young age of his sons.

Full 10 year warranty

OK-VISE has been a leading manufacturer of wedge-clamps for over 20 years. Some of our first customers have been using the same clamps all this time and still use them on a daily basis.

Based on this experience and after conducting extensive tests with our clamps we are prepared to offer a full 10 year warranty on the quality of the raw material and craftsmanship of all the wedge and jaw parts of our low-profile clamps excluding the blackening, springs and sideplates.

Simply return the whole clamp with the defective part direct to us. We will replace the part and ship the complete clamp back to you. The cost of the replacement part and return shipping will be borne by us.

The warranty does not cover damage caused by a machine malfunction or failure or a machinist causing damage due to human error or misuse of a clamp.
