Carr Lane Manufacturing is introducing a new system of tooling blocks and fixture plates for quick fixturing change on horizontal machining centers. Create fixturing on inexpensive fixture plates rather than dedicating a complete new tombstone to each new job.
Changeover is in seconds with repeatability of 0.0004". Carr Lock components can be ordered alone or in complete kits.
