Carr Lock® Subplates (400 x 400mm)

Carr Lock System

Product Information

CL-400400-00-CLSP

Carr Lock® Subplates are precision-machined steel plates with Carr Lock® Receiver Bushings installed in a standard pattern. These subplates serve as the foundation of an efficient quick-change fixturing system. Subplates should generally be large enough to cover most of the machine table, for maximum fixture flexibility, but should never extend beyond the machine table. For maximum quick-change benefits, subplates are usually left permanently on the machine table while only the mounted fixtures or vises are exchanged. Made in USA.

The 400 x 400mm subplate shown here has (4) 20mm Face-Mount Receiver Bushings for mounting any of the following:

(1) 400 x 400mm Carr Lock® Fixture Plate

(1) 14 x 14 Carr Lock® Fixture Plate

This subplate is also available as part of a Carr Lock® System Kit (see Related Products below).

Accuracy

The Carr Lock® System is extremely accurate. All Receiver-Bushing installation holes are located +/-.0002" from their primary reference hole. Clamping repeatability is +/-.0005", while bushing concentricity is .0002" TIR. The resulting x/y-axis repeatability of a mounted fixture plate is +/-.0028" considering all tolerance accumulation.

Mounting

Two locating holes for Sure-Lock™ Fixture Keys are provided for alignment with a slotted machine table. Fasten to the machine using the six mounting holes, with Socket-Head Cap Screws and T Nuts to match the machine table.
