Directional Pin

A short-cone ball lock zero-point positioning system uses a short-cone locating interface combined with a ball-lock clamping mechanism to position and secure compatible fixtures or pallets. The system is designed for repeatable CNC workholding and quick fixture changeover.

The short-cone locating interface establishes the positioning reference between the zero-point receiver and the compatible fixture or pallet. The ball-lock mechanism secures the interface, while the pneumatic system can be used to release the clamping mechanism during fixture changeover.

Yes. The compact locating interface and repeatable positioning concept make the system suitable for selected 5-axis machining and multi-axis workholding applications. The final configuration should be selected according to the machine, fixture geometry and machining requirements.

This configuration uses pneumatic actuation for releasing the clamping mechanism. The exact operating pressure, clamping force and installation requirements depend on the selected model and technical specification.

The applicable SET configuration can provide repeatability up to 0.005 mm. Actual performance depends on the product model, installation accuracy, locating interface, fixture condition and machining environment. Please refer to the specific product drawing for the exact specification.

Yes. The zero-point interface can be integrated with compatible custom fixtures, pallets and workholding plates. Fixture dimensions, locating interface, pull studs and clamping requirements should be confirmed before production.

Yes. The pneumatic configuration can be integrated into automated fixture and pallet changeover systems. Additional sensors, air connections, robotic interfaces or control components may be required depending on the automation design.

Selection depends on the required positioning accuracy, clamping force, fixture size, workpiece weight, machine-table configuration, installation method and automation requirements. SET can recommend a suitable configuration after reviewing the machine and fixture information.
