Jergens, Inc. Introduces New Hydraulic workholding Column with Patented Swivel Coupling; Prevents Twisting of Industrial hoses, Saves Time and Effort Hydraulic Operation Cuts Production Time in Half vs. Manual Vice systems
CLEVELAND, OHIO—September 16, 2008—Jergens, Inc. introduced their new Hydraulic Industrial vise Column, a highly engineered, innovative workholding solution that saves more of what you need … time and money. Proprietary features such as the patented swivel coupling save operator time by eliminating the need to disconnect and reconnect the two hydraulic pipes as the column rotates. Each vise can be independently operated to quickly unload and load parts. The extremely compact rotary coupling does not interfere with tooling.
In-house testing of the Jergens Hydraulic Vise Column with swivel coupling achieved up to a 50 percent reduction in production time when compared to the manual version performing the same tooling operation. Hydraulic power provides a fast, repeatable action that ensures consistent clamping force, up to 4,700 lbs of clamping capacity, without the variability due to operator fatigue that can occur with manual vises. The hydraulics ensure consistent, repeatable clamping force. The operator simply opens the hydraulic valve manufacturers to open the jaws to quickly unload and load parts.
With the fastest quick-change mechanism available, Jergens’ Hydraulic Vise Column comes with 4" and 6" jaw sizes and in three-sided or four-sided configurations. The stand-alone design can be retrofitted in the field.
All Jergens vises include machinable, reversible jaws; hardened and ground steel rails; flow-through base; and fully sealed lead bolt assembly.
Founded in 1942, Jergens, Inc. has grown into four separate operating divisions providing superior engineered solutions and products: “The standard components with the highest standards.” The Jergens Difference might be better engineering or better service but the result is always the same—a better solution for our customers. Jergens is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company.
