OK-VISE® Fixturing Concept

The following threaded inserts are used when special durability in the thread is essential.
Especially with aluminum platforms threaded inserts are recommended.

Some inserts are straight – one thread inside and one outside – whereas some have a flange outside to give extra support. Please notice that T-nuts can also be used for the same purpose in some installations.

threaded inserts


In the front straight models INM-12-8, INM-18-12, INM-18-12H, INM-22-16
Heights of these four types are 12.5, 10, 16 and 20 mm
In addiition to these there is INM-22-16S which is 14 mm in height.

In back models with flange: INM-16-10, GS-T1-M ( both non-stock items )

This is a locator bushing used in many types of platform where OK-VISE components are employed.

Fixture keys are used to position components on T-slot tables or blank platforms.
The other half ( with "widht2" ) goes into OK-VISE modules, and is kept standard.
Normally widht2 is 18 mm

Fixture keys

If keys are to be used in Mult-Rail base rails, then a machining option M-T1 is available, which is 2 + 2 pockets like shown in the photo.

 

Below there are the most typical components commonly used with the OK-VISE products.
