Modular clamping pillar
Fixtureworks

The Mod-Loc Modular Tooling Columns feature a unique design that consists of structural support brackets and sub-plates to form a tooling column that is as rigid and strong as traditional cast tombstones. These tooling columns are easily adapted to a variety of setups to help maximize the use of machining center's functional envelope. Because they are modular in design they permit flexible configurations that fully utilize the speed and accuracy of the SpeedLoc precision mounting and locating system.
The open architecture allows these columns to easily accommodate hydraulic and electrical systems inside the column. This design also reduces the overall weight of the columns. All the tooling columns are supplied with four aluminum or steel sub-plates. Each sub-plate comes with six Speedloc receivers for fast and accurate fastening of fixture plates to the sub-plates. The supplied sub-plates are available in MIC-6 aluminum or A36 steel. All sub-plates are precision ground to a minimum +/- .005" tolerance. The plates are edge prepped by grinding or milling to +/-.005". The part numbers on the following page are supplied with docking plate hardware (MPDH-10001) on each of the four column faces. Tooling columns without docking plates are available by request. The bases are made from A36 steel.
