Product catalog summary
Introduction
This manual provides detailed information on the VX Positioning Pin by KOSMEK LTD, including specifications, operating instructions, and cautions for use. It covers models VX0080, VX0100, VX0120, VX0160, and VX0200.
Specifications
The VX Positioning Pin is engineered for high precision with a repeat accuracy of 5 μm. It utilizes a manual expansion mechanism with a taper sleeve for locking and releasing workpieces. Various models offer specific dimensions and performance features.
Operating Instructions
The pin operates in two positions: contracted (release) and expanded (lock). The cap is loosened to contract and tightened to expand the taper sleeve, using a hexagonal socket.
Applications
Designed for high precision positioning of workpieces and jig plates, the pin prevents damage to datum holes and facilitates easy removal of workpieces.
Performance and Dimensions
Performance curves illustrate the relationship between tightening torque and positioning force across models. Detailed dimensions include workpiece hole diameter, datum diameter, expansion stroke, and allowable eccentricity.
Cautions
Key cautions include ensuring proper X and Y axis positioning, using the correct number of shims for VX-C phasing, and avoiding unauthorized modifications to maintain warranty validity.
Warranty
The warranty is valid for 1.5 years post-shipment or 1 year of use, whichever is shorter. It excludes defects from improper maintenance, unauthorized modifications, and natural disasters.
Specifications and Usage Instructions
  • Ensure secure tightening before use to prevent damage.
  • Do not operate or remove equipment without ensuring safety.
  • Avoid disassembling or modifying the equipment to maintain warranty.
  • Use appropriate clamps to secure workpieces against excessive vibration.
Warranty Information
  • The warranty period is 1.5 years after shipment or 1 year of use, whichever is shorter.
  • Excludes defects from improper maintenance, handling, unauthorized modifications, natural disasters, or normal wear and tear.
Additional Notes
  • Damages from product defects are not covered under warranty.
