Jergens expands its Quick-Loc line of quick-change products with a combination pallet that offers both 96-mm and 52-mm hole patterns in a single unit. The QL2 workholding system features dual pattern configuration, making it a single solution accommodating both industry standard mounting options for broader overall application.
Jergens Quick-Loc is a modular quick-change system that enables users to achieve fast and repeatable fixture changes of various types of top tooling with receivers. The basis of the system is a four-pull stud interface. Top tooling is located and clamped to a base receiver in a single step when the pull studs are inserted into the receiver and the clamping screw is tightened.
Quick Loc can be applied to horizontal, vertical and rotary operations. These low-profile adapters and pallets ensure repeatability of 0.0003″ and provide clamping forces of nearly 14,000 lbs. Manufactured from case-hardened steel for high rigidity, Quick Loc is available in multiple configurations including square, rectangle and round receivers in both 52-mm and 96-mm patterns, and now QL2 as a combination. Using the system with Jergens compact 130-mm self-centering vise enables increased machining access and quick changeovers.
