Modern Industries of Erie, PA announces the introduction of a revolutionary new precision locator/fastener system for a multitude of tooling, fixturing and assembly applications. Most importantly, these devices offer the ability to make accurate set-up changes faster than ever before which enables significant improvements in machining productivity, throughput rates, quality, and reduced operating costs.

SpeedLoc has solved the common difficulties associated with precision attachment and removal of fixture plates, tooling, and accessories. Prying, pounding and jack screws are a thing of the past since the SpeedLoc design uses the fastening device itself to mechanically extract the precision “locator” from its “receiver”, allowing easy separation of fixture plates, tooling, and accessories. Unlike competing products, SpeedLoc does not require expensive “repair kits” since there are no rubber o-rings to break or finicky ball bearings to fall out or fracture.

SpeedLoc features include…

• Self-Extracting – the unique design of SpeedLoc enables the device to easily and quickly “self-extract” from tooling, fixturing, etc. There is no binding or other hang-ups that either delay removal time or compromise the accuracy of the locking system.
• Precise Locating – Features a repeatability of +/- .0004”
• Easy Installation – the SpeedLoc System is easily installed into a multitude of applications using standard tooling and machining practices
• Compact – requires minimal space in tooling and fixturing applications
• American Made – from specially treated alloy materials
• Interchangeable – with other competitive systems
• High Clamping Strength – ideal for use with hydraulic (manifold) applications
