OVERVIEW
How it Works UNILOCK uses spring pressure to drive clamping pins against a tapered knob for quick, repeatable clamping. Air pressure retracts the pins, and releasing the air re-engages the clamp. The knob mounts to a base plate, fixture or workpiece. A manual version is also available. Features • Powerful clamping: Heavy-duty die springs deliver reliable holding force • Quick release: Air pressure easily opens chuck by compressing springs • Stable and compact: Low-profile design with taper wedges ensures rock-solid stability • Precise positioning: Conforms to the workpiece for consistent accuracy
• Efficient operation: Unlocks with just 75 PSI of air pressure • Turbo Assist: Boosts clamping force for demanding applications
Single Chuck Applications The UNILOCK clamping knob engages with the chuck’s central taper to establish the XY reference in a Cartesian coordinate system. A timing pin or key fits into a notch or bushing to orient the fixture and prevent rotation. The Z reference is determined by contact between the bottom of the fixture or workpiece and the top ground surfaces of the chuck, ensuring axial alignment. When external locating features are utilized, the clamping knob can secure the workpiece without affecting its position.
