LOCATING RAILS

Mitee-Bite Products, manufacturer of low profile edge clamps for jigs and fixtures, now makes fixture building easier and quicker with the addition of ready made locating rails. Low carbon, precision ground rails are available in a number of sizes and lengths to suit most applications. Mounting holes are installed and socket head cap screws are included. Mill a slot in the fixture plate to locate the rail and drill and tap the mounting holes. The height of the rails can be adjusted by the depth of the slot. Steps can be machined on the rails to hold the work piece above the fixture plate or a radius can be machined to match the contour on machinable clamps for irregular shape parts. Additional holding force can be acquired by having a Carbinite coating applied to the contact faces of the rails. This durable grit finish can be special ordered through Mitee-Bite Products.
