Radial Loc-N-Load Plate

Phillips Precision’s Products Div. announces its new Radial Loc-N-Load Plate as part of the Inspection Arsenal LEAN, Quick-Swap inspection fixture system.  The Radial Loc-N-Load plate is 8 inches in diameter, 1/2”-thick black hard anodized aluminum with ¼-20 threaded holes. Because not every part is square we decided to use a radial hole pattern rather than a grid pattern in ½” offsets starting from the center hole. The smaller bolt circles have 30° spacing and the larger ones are 15°.

The plate is laser marked with rings to make aligning parts visually easy. The signature Loc-N-Load shape is added to locate the plate in the docking rail for inspection. Magnets hold the plate accurately and securely and allow for easy release. Add Inspection Arsenal workholding, such as Silver-Bullet, Trigger-Finger hold downs, stand-offs and more to enhance a setup.

The new radial plate is the latest addition to the Loc-N-Load fixture plates system. Loc-N-Load aluminum fixture plates interlock magnetically to remain firmly secured, yet release quickly and easily for the next job. The system installs effortlessly on all coordinate measuring machines. Selecting a system is easy with preconfigured CMM bundled fixture systems. Select the docking rail and plate bundle that suits your application. Choose from 12”, 18” or 30” rail and plate combinations. Next, choose the size, of workholding kit that will suit the application—51, 70 or 146 pieces. They all contain selections of the Inspection Arsenal trigger action, low-profile clamps, rails, stops and hold-downs to enable quick and easy setup. All docking rails, plates and work holding are also available for purchase individually.
