Fixtureworks (Fraser, MI) offers various styles of quick change flex clamping “locators,” including the newest version, labeled the “Easy Mount.”
Designed for quick change applications, the Easy Mount clamping flex locators, CP720-N locate and fasten in a single operation -- without the use of tools. They provide fast and accurate fixture changes, mounting the same fixture on different machines, machining from five sides on one fixture, and quick fixture setup. The system consists of the clamping locator pins and receiving bushings. In combination, these parts are designed to be mounted on fixture bases and plates to allow for highly accurate locating and positioning with repeatability to .01 mm.
In addition to the newest locating device, the Easy Mount, the company’s expanding line of flex locators include blind style and through style locators, receivers and protective covers. With a larger flanged shape, the need for precise depth of the mounting holes is eliminated, allowing for easier installation.
