Quick-Swap Fixture System for Optical Comparators

Phillip Precision’s Inspection Arsenal Loc-N-Load quick-swap fixture system is designed to speed optical comparator inspections. The lean fixture concept speeds inspection on traditional CMMs and vision systems as well as on gage arms and laser trackers, and further enhances the value of optical comparators, says the company.

The system features a 6" docking rail, two 6" × 12" Loc-N-Load plates and a workholding kit. Items can be purchased individually or in a preconfigured bundle. The docking rail secures to the T-slot table while the magnetically interlocking plates are designed to quickly and accurately secure and release. By fixturing on quick-swap plates, operators can change parts in and out without building and breaking down setups. For high-quantity part lots, affordable plates can be dedicated and kept with the job box for fast, repeatable setups.
