Carr Lane Manufacturing Co. Datasheets for Locating and Fixturing Pins

Locating and fixturing pins are press-fit, removable hardware devices designed to align or affix two work pieces to very small tolerances. When translation mechanisms are not stable or precise enough to place objects in position for a particular process, locating and fixturing pins can ensure an accurate alignment.
