Product catalog summary
Introduction
Mitee-Bite Products has introduced the Modular XYZ Xpansion® Pins, designed for use in tombstone, grid plate, and fixture plate applications. These pins offer accurate location, repeatability, and high holding forces for securing parts on the inside diameter, eliminating external clamping interference.

Specifications
The XYZ Pins are available in threaded and press fit styles. Threaded Pins come in standard sizes of 1/2, 5/8, M12, and M16, while Press Fit Pins are available in sizes ranging from 1/4 to M16. Both types are made from heat-treatable 17-4PH stainless steel, with Press Fit Pins also available in 12L14 mild steel. The pins can expand up to 0.030 inches (0.7mm) and can be machined for specific applications.

Installation and Removal
For Press Fit Pins, installation involves placing the pin in a prepared bore and using a socket head cap screw (SHCS) to draw down the pin. Removal is done by threading a larger SHCS into the pin's internal threads. Threaded Pins require drilling and tapping for installation, with the option to use a hardened drill bushing for added strength.

Applications
These pins are suitable for quick setups on secondary operations, material from prep stations, water-jets, or applications outside machining centers. They provide "out of the way workholding" and accessibility to all work surfaces.

Additional Features
The top of the pins has a slight taper for maximum line contact and clearance during load/unload. An accessory kit is available for quick installation and removal of the pins.
