Locate
Define the primary locating method and datum requirement.
APPLICATIONS
Positioning, indexing and locking components used in fixtures, automated equipment, machinery and changeover applications.
APPLICATION AREAS
Each application starts with the required locating method, adjustment cycle, mating interface and changeover frequency.

Components for repeatable locating, positioning, retention and workpiece control in production fixtures and tooling. Relevant components include round and diamond locating pins, precision locator bushings, indexing plungers and low-profile clamps.

Mechanical positioning and locking components for adjustable stations, machine modules and automated equipment. Relevant components include indexing plungers, ball lock pins, quick-release locking pins and locating pins.

Quick-release and locating components for equipment interfaces, fixture changes and repeated setup adjustments. Receiver bushings apply where the compatible fixture locking system requires a mating receiver interface.

Components for controlled positioning, indexing and repeatable adjustment of machine and equipment elements. Relevant components include precision indexing plungers, cam-action indexing plungers, locating pins and locator bushings.

Locating, alignment and locking components for assembly fixtures, inspection tooling and repeatable part setup. Relevant components include locating pins, bullet-nose and tapered locating pins, locator bushings and selected locking components.
COMPONENT WORKFLOW
Locate -> Position -> Lock -> Release -> Change. The right component depends on the required locating method, operating sequence, mating interface and frequency of adjustment or changeover.
Define the primary locating method and datum requirement.
Confirm the adjustment or repeat-positioning requirement.
Select a locking method suited to the interface and operating access.
Review how frequently the component must be disengaged or adjusted.
Match the component to the fixture or equipment changeover sequence.
