Supplied by Thame Workholding via HWR, SOLIDPoint offers a quick and accurate clamping system. It is based on two wedge bolts in the pallet that engage with four grooved locating bolts screwed to the vice or fixture. Clamping and unclamping is facilitated by turning a central screw while repeatability is accurate to less than 0.005mm.
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 rotary table, lathe or vice versa.
The SOLIDGrip vices fit directly onto the pallets, but the special location bolts can be screwed onto any vice, fixture or raw material for use on the pallets.
A plain fixture plate is available with the location bolts already fitted. In addition a vertically mounted SOLIDPoint base and a five sided SOLIDPoint cube is available.
At the time of writing, the SOLIDPoint offers plates which clamp both 52mm and 96mm stud pattern.
