Mechanical Lock Systems

Our Mechanical ‘O Point’ Clamping System enables you to completely machine a workpiece in one setup, significantly reducing setup time and fixturing costs. With a few quick turns of a wrench, ‘O Point’ clamping modules locate, support, and securely clamp the workpiece from underneath, providing full machining access to 5 sides.
Clamping modules can be mounted exactly where required, anywhere on the fixture plate. These modules fit perfectly on all of Carr Lane’s 1/2” and 5/8” modular tooling plates and blocks, but can also be used with non-modular tooling. Clamping modules elevate the workpiece for machine-spindle clearance, and are stackable for extra height.

Operating Principle , Features and Application

Operating Principle:

Pillar-shaped pull clamps pull down the clamping screws mounted on the bottom of fixture plates. They provide excellent repeat accuracy of up to 0.005 mm through dual surface contact. External fixture setup helps eliminate machine downtime. The system allows quick and easy clamping with flexible positioning, enabling positioning and clamping in a single operation by simply turning knobs.
