Inverted Stud Ball Element
Inverted Stud Ball Element Allows Full 5-Sided Machining
Advanced Machine & Engineering’s (AME) new patent-pending inverted stud ball element allows full, five-sided profile machining that decreases overall machine time for a variety of industries including aerospace, medical, and automotive.
This self-aligning fixture element (S.A.F.E.) features:
-
A ball element that has 6 degrees of rotation in any direction.
-
Swiveling ball element contact pads that allow less internal stresses for bent or angled parts requiring clamping for machining.
-
Viton O-Ring protection that prevents penetration of chips and coolant within the ball element system guaranteeing long life.
-
Fixed and adjustable threaded ball element heights.
-
Fixed Press Fit ball element heights for locating and positioning.
-
Custom sizes available upon request.
The ball element and stud combination provides a one-component design for stress-free clamping by conforming right to the part that is being machined.
