Floating Clamps
New Item!

Floating Clamps are position-flexible clamping devices. The top jaw and bottom jaw together provide a floating clamping point that adjusts to the workpiece before locking, to prevent deformation. These combination clamp/supports are often used in conjunction with primary locators and clamps, providing additional support points to reduce machining vibration. Floating Clamps are especially useful for clamping forgings, ribbed or flanged castings, and other larger parts.

To initiate clamping, push the Floating Clamp downward, then immediately swing the jaws into clamping position. The clamping jaws will automatically rise so that the bottom jaw contacts the workpiece with a light spring force. Next, tighten the top hex nut 11 ft-lbs minimum to 22 ft-lbs maximum, depending on the support load capacity desired. During the tightening process, the workpiece is clamped and simultaneously supported.

For custom applications, the standard upper clamping jaw supplied can be replaced by a special clamping jaw.
Drill-Jig Bushings
Carr Lane’s complete line of drill bushings includes press-fit bushings, renewable bushings, liner bushings, castable bushings, chip-breaker bushings, directed-coolant bushings, oil-groove bushings, gun-drill bushings, template bushings, threaded template bushings, circuit-board drill bushings, air-feed drill bushings, carbide bushings, lockscrews, and bushing clamps.

Locators
Carr Lane offers innovative locating product lines, stocking industry-leading locating pins, tooling balls & fixture keys. Carr Lane locating pins are available in numerous constructions, including round, diamond, press-fit, lockscrew, floating, bullet-nose and cone varieties. Shoulder and adjustable type construction tooling balls and pads (rectangular & round)  are used as a reference point for critical inspection and machining operations. Fixture keys are available for a variety of slot sizes, and all Carr Lane locating pins are proudly made in the USA. Browse Carr Lane locating pins, tooling balls & fixture keys below.
Precision Vises
Carr Lane Roemheld vise workholding systems include the MCP series, SCS series, NC series, and ZH series. The MCP series for 5-axis machining includes standard, concentric, and position-flexible workholding vises, which allow unrestricted cutting-tool access for multiple-side machining. The SCS series for 5-axis machining offers a slightly wider design than the MCP series, with a specially designed guideway between the base and moving jaw to allow the use of tall clamping jaws with incredible holding force. The NC series, for CNC machining centers, offers high-precision, high-production machining capabilities with excellent rigidity and durability. The ZH series offers similar high-production capabilities in a concentric vise. A wide range of jaws and accessories are also listed under each vise series. The CARVESMART™ vise jaw system is a complete system of dovetailed quick-change vise jaws available to fit all Carr Lane Roemheld NC-series vises and many other brands of production and toolroom vises, allowing custom jaws to be accurately changed in seconds. Browse concentric clamping & workholding vise products in the Carr Lane catalog below.
Captive Jig Pins
New Item!

Similar to a standard Jig Pin, except that the pin body is positively retained in a locking bushing. In fully retracted position, the bushing's spring clip snaps into the pin's groove. This holds the pin fully retracted by spring force and positively prevents removal. Spring pressure also holds the pin in intermediate extended positions, an advantage especially if the fixture is turned upside down. Like standard jig pins, Captive Jig Pins have an integral shoulder to keep the handle raised. Available in pin diameters from 3/16 to 1/2". Made in USA.

The complete assemblies listed below include a Captive Jig Pin, Locking-Pin Bushing, and Lockscrew. Choice of standard or long bushing in most sizes, for installation in thinner or thicker plates. Locking-Pin Bushings are designed to press fit in a standard reamed hole, and can be further secured with the included Lockscrew to positively hold the bushing in place.
Captive Locating Screws with Hand Knob
New item!

These Captive Locating Screws have an integral hand knob for tightening by hand. Captive Locating Screws can be used for locating and clamping, or for clamping only, by selecting the appropriate screw length. The locating screw's precision-ground body is positively retained in a locking bushing. In fully retracted position, the bushing's spring clip snaps into the body's radial groove. This holds the screw fully retracted by spring force and positively prevents removal. Spring pressure also holds the screw in intermediate extended positions, an advantage especially if the fixture is turned upside down. Available in thread sizes from 1/4-20 to 1/2-13 (M6 to M12 in metric). Made in USA.
