The Ball Lock™ System accurately positions your fixtureplate with a repeatability of ±0.0005" (±0.013mm) or better, minimizing the need to indicate your fixture. The Ball Lock System securely holds fixture plates to subplates with up to 20,000 lbs. (9000 kg) of hold-down force per shank. The Ball Lock Mounting System is designed to speed the accurate locating and locking of fixture plates to subplates. The system consists of three parts: a Locating Shank, a Liner Bushing, and a Receiver Bushing. Using the Ball Lock Mounting System is a simple process: Install a subplate with receiver bushings...
