FEATURES: These blank tooling plates are an important part of our new quick-change tooling system. Fixtures can be assembled off of the machine tool, then quickly mounted on a specially designed pallet subplate, with excellent locating repeatability. The same subplate excepts modular tooling plates, blank tooling plates for permanent fixtures, and Subplate Tooling Blocks. Blank tooling plates are finish ground on the bottom only Important: do not regrind the bottom of a blank tooling plate, to preserve the accurate fit of its receiver bushings with the tapered pins of the subplate.
LOCATING PRINCIPLES: Accurate location is provided by two tapered pins in the subplate, together with mating tapered receiver bushings in the tooling plate, similar to the way that a machine pallet itself is located in a horizontal machining center. Pins and receiver bushings are made from hardened tool steel. Minimal contact area between tooling plate and subplate allows quick cleaning when changing fixtures. Patent number 5,788,225.
SIZES: Available in a full range of standard pallet sizes — see Dimensions page for part numbers.
MATERIAL: Body > 1050 steel. Bushings > High-carbon steel, heat treated. |
