Product catalog summary

Fixture Plates
Fixture plates provide flexibility with a configuration of alternating 1/2” dowel pin holes and tapped holes for clamping, allowing for quick and accurate fixturing. They can be precisely located on machine tables using reamed centerline sine key holes. Custom sizes and configurations are available upon request. Material tolerances include C1119 steel, Blanchard ground flat and parallel to .002 in 12”, with specific tolerances for tapped and dowel holes.

Ball Lock Shanks & Liners
Made from 4340 and 52100 materials with a black oxide finish, these components are designed for secure and precise fixturing, with detailed specifications for plate thickness, shank diameter, and hold-down force.

Columns
Columns provide an accurate fixturing base for workpieces on horizontal and multi-axis machining centers. Made from stress-relieved class 40 Meehanite cast iron, they are milled flat, parallel, and square to .001 in 12”. Standard DIN and JIS mounting configurations are included, with options for custom grid patterns and sizes.

T-Columns
Similar to standard columns, T-columns offer a fixturing base with a focus on multi-axis machining centers. They are made from the same material and provide similar mounting configurations. Custom options are available for grid patterns and sizes.

Mounting Information
Tooling blocks can be mounted using DIN or JIS configurations, providing precise location and secure fastening to machine pallets. Specific dimensions for pallet sizes are provided.

Quotation Worksheets
For custom requests, detailed worksheets are available to specify dimensions, tolerances, and material types, ensuring accurate quotations and manufacturing based on customer specifications.
