Suitable for setting up and interchanging multiple pallets for a series of machining centers, Kurt’s new PinLock system makes attaching and removing fixtures, subplates and vises from machining centers precise, fast and easy. Its helical extraction design aids in overcoming binding in side load conditions and enhances the removal of the PinLock in any application. The system uses a pin assembly to engage and create a locking force with line contact, as opposed to other competitive systems that use point contact. It also is interchangeable with competitive ball locking systems. The PinLock system consists of high precision pins, bushings and liners that provide locating repeatability up to ±0.0127 mm. PinLock shanks and bushings are precision machined of heat-treated, alloy steel with a black oxide finish. PinLock liner bushings are available for fixture plate thickness of 19.05 and 25.4 mm for the 20, 25 and 30 mm sizes. The larger size liner bushings are available for 19.05, 25.4, 38.1 and 50.8 mm fixture plate thicknesses. Back mount and front mount receiver bushings are provided for receiver plate thickness of 19.05 to 50.8 mm.
