New Carr Lane Roemheld DropZero Modular Zero-Point Clamping System enables an end user to completely machine a workpiece in one setup, significantly reducing setup time and fixturing costs. With a few turns of a wrench, DropZero locates, supports and securely clamps the workpiece from underneath, providing full machining access to five sides.
Pull studs (round, diamond, and floating) are mounted directly to a part, and clamping modules can be mounted to anywhere on the fixturing plate, elevating the workpiece for machine-spindle clearance. Clamp modules are stackable for added clearance, and can fit on all of Carr Lane Mfg. Co.’s 1/2” and 5/8” modular tooling plates and blocks. They can also be used with nonmodular tooling.
