According to the company, the ability to use the Fixture-Pro range greatly extends the machining envelope on five-axis machines. The modular workholding of Fixture-Pro combined with the quick and accurate location of Ball-Lock is designed to increase productivity. The combination offer a system that can be rapidly changed over, even between machines. Ball-Lock sub-plates mount directly to the machine table and provide the connection to the new QLS system, which in turn connects to a combination of Fixture-Pro risers, adapters and top tooling.
