Top 100: Jaw Attachment Easy to Transport

Sept. 28, 2010

For a constant force curve during closing cycles, the CC 3300 jaw attachment from Atlas Copco has two moving jaws with one hydraulic cylinder for each jaw. Unlike the previous model, the CC 3300 features the Coupling and Positioning System (CAPS), which keeps the two jaws connected when removed from the unit and helps operators refit the jaws through a special guide system. CAPS also helps operators transport disassembled jaws and maintain proper alignment. Universal jaws open 40 inches wide and deliver 441 tons of cutting force. Steel-cutting jaws open 17 inches wide and also provide 441 tons of cutting force. Estimated list price: $100,000 to $120,000.
