Fixtureworks quick

Fixtureworks has developed a line of quick-release clamps and ball-lock fasteners for quick changeover applications and frequent disassembly. The quick-release fastener products are offered in many styles including button-locking assemblies, magnetic clamp receptacles, and quarter-turn. They are available in a variety of lengths, diameters, and materials.

These fasteners are used to attach conveyors, star wheels, guide plates, shooters, pushers, handling machine chucks, rotary blades, and maintenance covers on machines. The clamps have a locating repeatability to +/- 0.1 mm.

The ball-lock pin fasteners are used to attach fixtures, plates, and machine covers for joining components with moderate clamping force. An alternative to nut-and-bolt assembly, these new quick-release fasteners provide for quick changeover and installation without the need for any tools.

The button-locking pin series, made of stainless steel, securely locks and then releases with a press of a button. Suitable for tight workspaces, the clamping pins and magnet lock clamping pins with receptacles offer compact and safe locking.

The quarter-turn clamps come with either a plastic knob, metal knob, or low-profile knob to provide flexibility for fastening operations. The bodies are made of nickel-plated steel and the pin is stainless. The plastic knob is fibreglass, and the fastener can provide clamping force to 20 ft.-lbs.

Similarly, the knob-locking clamps have a nickel-plated body with a fibreglass knob. The ball and spring are made of stainless steel. These types of fasteners can provide clamping force to 11 ft.-lbs.
