Quick
Point offers a quick and accurate clamping system It is.based on
four wedge bolts in the pallet that engage with four grooved locating
bolts screwed to the vice or fixture. Clamping and unclamping is
by turning a central screw while repeatability is accurate within
microns.
The pallets may be
mounted onto the machine table by four fixing bolts or by edge/corner
clamps. In addition, a round version of the pallet is available so
that the vice can be moved from a machining centre to a lathe or vice
versa.
The Centre
Compact vices fit directly onto the pallets, but the special
location bolts can be screwed onto any vice or fixture for use on the
pallets.
A
plain fixture plate is available with the location bolts already
fitted. In addition a vertically mounted Quick Point base and a five
sided Quick Point cube is available.
The
four clamping points offer great rigidity and being in a square,
allow the vice or fixture to be indexed through 90º, 180° and
270°.
It
has an extremely low profile at only 27mm so that the working envelope
of the machine is not restricted.
The
Five Sided Cube allows up to 5 components to be
mounted at once and allows access to five of the six component
faces.
