The MicroLoc workholding system is a versatile, and expandable, means of clamping square, rectangular, or round parts relative to known datum positions.

Micron Workholding's MicroLoc workholding system is a versatile, and expandable, means of clamping square, rectangular, or round parts relative to known datum positions.

It allows a high density of workpieces - one system clamps 10 small work pieces or one large one.

* Precision workholding - the MicroLoc is designed to utilise machine time more efficiently by operating concurrently on multiple parts, thus improving productivity.

It also gives the benefit of less wear on machinery through reduced tool changing operations.

It also allows longer machine cycle times without operator intervention.

* Stable and secure - because there is always solid metal behind and beneath every component supported on a MicroLoc workholding system, a very stable and secure machining platform is achieved, said Micron Workholding.

It helps to reduce vibration, noise, and even prolongs tool life.

Also, the novel geometrical design of the MicroLoc clamping jaw allows it to swivel slightly when tightened onto a component (up to 1mm across the jaw width), so there is always two-point clamping across the face of any prismatic part.
