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! <!– ” –> Threaded Pins Threaded XYZ Pins (in 17-4PH) incorporate an internal rotary broached hex for simple installation and removal from a tombstone, grid plate or fixture plate. Threaded Pins may be installed in a drilled and reamed hole for precise location or set in a hardened drill bushing for additional strength and wear resistance. To install a Threaded XYZ Pin in a precision bore, drill/tap accordingly and ream the hole over the nominal diameter minimum of 0.0001 to 0.0005″.
