For additional dimensions
or special head diameters, see
Round & Diamond Locating Pins/

To mount a Fixed Locating-Pin Adaptor between grid points, use a Multipurpose Extension Support. Alternatively, an Adjustable Locating-Pin Adaptor
could be used for lower height
(standard and heavy sizes only).


 
Adjustable

FEATURES: Extremely useful for locating from existing holes or slots in a workpiece. Locating-Pin Adaptors use off-the-shelf Round and Diamond Locating Pins to fit hole diameters exactly. Round and diamond pins are often used together to locate from two holes in a workpiece. The adjustable adaptors shown here are usually used to position the diamond pin between grid points. Adaptors are precision ground for accurate height location, in a choice of support heights to match other types of height locators. Patent number 4,834,358.

LOCATING FROM TWO HOLES: When a round pin and diamond pin are used together, the round pin is the primary, 2-axis locator, while the diamond pin is the secondary, 1-axis locator. Diamond pins are relieved, to locate only in 1 horizontal axis. This prevents binding while loading and unloading the part, yet still maintains high accuracy. The round pin is usually mounted at a grid point, in a multipurpose hole, using a fixed adaptor. The diamond pin is usually located between grid points, to match the workpiece's hole spacing, using either a shorter fixed adaptor mounted on a Multipurpose Extension Support, or an adjustable adaptor.

ADAPTOR SIZES: Available for Standard (1/2") and Heavy (5/8") modular systems, in the following heights — see Dimensions page for part numbers:

Each nominal size is available in either tight fit or medium fit — see Dimensions page for part numbers. Pins with a special head diameter are quickly made to order – please contact factory.
