Product catalog summary
Overview of Ball Lock® Mounting System
The Ball Lock® Mounting System is a quick-change solution designed to enhance productivity in various applications such as CNC machines, palletized fixtures, and more. It is known for its high repeatability and quick fixture exchanges.
Specifications and Components
The system includes a Locating Shank, a Liner Bushing, and a Receiver Bushing, offering repeatability of ±0.0005" (±0.013mm) and holding force up to 20,000 lbs. (9000 Kg) per shank.
Procedures and Setup
The system simplifies setup by allowing pre-mounted parts on fixture plates, reducing setup times from minutes to seconds.
Common Questions and Recommendations
The system uses two shanks for location and additional shanks for extra holding force. It is recommended to position liner bushings at opposite corners of a rectangular fixture plate for optimal performance.
Applications and Benefits
Beneficial in lean manufacturing, the system supports high-temperature environments up to 400°F (200°C) and accommodates thermal expansion.
Specifications
  • Includes aluminum fixture plates and a steel subplate with receiver bushings, handling 3000 lbs. each.
  • Fixture plates available in sizes like 300x350mm to 500x500mm, with thicknesses from 20mm to 30mm.
  • Materials include cast aluminum and FreMax™ 15 Steel.
Procedures
