We've used Talon Grip jaws in our vises for a while now. Don't think I've ever seen this.
Got a 20k piece job to do so I setup a couple of fixtures with pitbull clamps & talon grips. Bought all new clamps for this job. Done less than 1k parts so far, so less than 25 clampings on these.
Is this a thing? How often do these break like this? Never seen it on our vises and I know we tighten the shit out of those things. Can the pitbull really put that much pressure on the talon grip here? It's not very tight, just "snug". Til it stops, then maybe a 1/4 turn?
What's weird is both of these talons broke on the same pallet on same run. One part went out thru the conveyor. Second one was sitting there and as I'm removing some of the other parts, it just fell out.
