Mitee-Bite Products releases the new Modular XYZ
Xpansion® Pins for Tombstone, Grid Plate and Fixture Plate
applications. The unique, patent pending design provides
accurate location, repeatability and high holding forces for
securing parts on the inside diameter. The XYZ Pin provides
“out of the way workholding” and accessibility to all work
surfaces with absolutely no external clamping interference.
The Threaded Pin is available in standard sizes of 1/2, 5/8,
M12 and M16 for tombstones and grid plates. The Press
Fit Pins are available in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, M6, M10, M12
and M16 diameters for custom applications. Both styles of
the pins are manufactured from “heat treatable” 17-4PH
stainless steel. The Press Fit Pins are now also available
in 12L14 mild steel. The Pins expand up to 0.030″ (0.7mm)
and the diameter can be machined for specific applications.
The top of the Pins have a slight taper creating maximum
line contact in bore and provides clearance during
load/unload. Designed for quick set-ups on secondary
operations, material coming off prep stations, water-jets or
even applications outside of your machining centers!
