Euro-Tech Corporation has announced the Pinhead Flexible Fixturing for CMMs. Designed to quickly and precisely fix parts on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), the system eliminates expensive special constructions to fixture complex workpieces, the company said. “Pinhead Flexible Fixturing is suitable for staging parts on CMMs or vision inspection systems,” said a company spokesperson. “It is suitable for controlling costs because purchasing can be conducted on an as-needed basis. This modular clamping system can be combined and expanded as necessary.” Standard features include: • Pin Base height for mounting the workpiece is 4.75” to top of pins. • 70 pins ensure optimal fit. • 0.160” pin diameter and .800” stroke result in optimal adaptation of shape. • Features and quick-clamping and maintenance-free mechanism. • Alignment interface for additional modules designed to allow fast assembly. Options include a Pinhead kitwith four base units, four 1” risers, four 1.5” risers, four 2” risers and four swivel mounting arms with standard 10 mm thread size. Other modular pieces can be purchased separately: risers, swivel mounting arms, magnetic base, spring-loaded swivel clamp and pinhead swivel clamps. The allowable downward force per unit is 10 kg per Pinhead element (22 lbs). Four elements in an array will support about 40 kg. Risers are sized at 1”, 1.5” and 2” and may be assembled in any combination. “The long life of the product is because all moving elements are hardened and the application for inspection (CMM tables, etc.) will produce nearly no wear on the system,” said the spokesperson.
