Many automation solutions require objects to be perfectly aligned with each other. One of the application areas for positioning pins therefore, includes the alignment of work pieces in positioning devices or work piece carriers. In general, it is important to take measures to prevent any impairment to the positioning ability, caused, for example, by thermal expansion, maladjustment or wear. Misumi offers a varied portfolio of products for a wide range of applications, including precision and standard designs with small, large, round, pointed or conical heads, with internal and external threads or prefabricated shoulder widths, as well as double stepped versions and many more. As the repeat accuracy requirements in this area of application often lie within a range of a few hundredths of a millimetre, the company frequently offers these components in increments of 0.01 mm. The range also includes components that have been optimised for electrically or thermally sensitive applications.
