Steel Locating & Positioning Components

Alignment pins are removable locating devices used to precisely align mating workpieces in jigs and fixtures. Pieces are aligned by installing a pin in one part and a liner in the other. Handle styles include T-handle, L-handle, convertible handle, and no handle.

Angle plates and angle irons are used to support workpieces in vertical positions for layout, tooling, and machining applications to prevent movement and distortion.

Built to reduce design and detail time, CMM fixture blocks and plates provide a work base with a combination of standard size mounting holes for positioning.

Fixture keys are used to locate jigs and fixtures on slotted machine tool tables and position the part to be machined in one operation. Our selection of fixture keys includes block keys and sine keys.

Locating pins are used for controlled, tight tolerances to increase accuracy in positioning workpieces on fixtures. Typically, two pins are needed to properly align the workpiece. We offer round pins that provide precise location in all directions, as well as relieved or diamond pins that provide clearance with less contact to prevent binding during loading and unloading.

Adjustable locating screws are used with locating pins to accurately position workpieces in jigs and fixtures.

Quick change fixture mounting systems provide fast installation with precise location to help reduce setup and changeover times. We offer quick change liners, bushings, shanks, and repair kits.

Slotted locator bushings are used with alignment pins to align two holes without binding. Supplied with roll pin to ensure accurate orientation.

Tooling balls are used as a reference point for inspection, layout, and machining applications. We offer tooling balls with or without a shoulder.
