Carr Lane Manufacturing offers a system of tooling blocks and fixture plates for quick-change fixturing on horizontal machining centers. According to the company, manufacturers can create fixturing on the cost-effective fixture plates rather than dedicating a complete tombstone to each new job. Change-over is said to take place in seconds with repeatability of 0.0004". The components are available alone or in complete kits.
