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 of workpieces. They can be precisely located on machine tables using reamed centerline sine key holes. Non-standard sizes are available upon request, with material tolerances including C1119 Steel, Blanchard ground flat to .002 in 12”.
Ball Lock Shanks & Liners
Made from 4340 and 52100 materials with a black oxide finish, these components are designed for high precision and durability in fixturing applications.
Columns
Columns provide a stable fixturing base for workpieces on machining centers, made from stress-relieved class 40 Meehanite cast iron, milled flat, parallel, and square to .001 in 12”. Standard DIN and JIS mounting configurations are available, with custom options upon request.
T-Columns
Similar to standard columns, T-columns offer a fixturing base for horizontal and multi-axis machining centers, made from the same material and providing similar mounting configurations. Custom grid patterns and sizes are available.
