IVB Precision Locator
The Invert-A-Bolt™ (IVB) Precision Locator1 is used to precisely locate and hold simultaneously. These unique products combine the “upside-down” holding characteristics of patented IVB fasteners with the locating capabilities of precision locating (shoulder) screws. Easy to use, easy to install, these locators are manufactured to fit that unique situation where it is preferable to have holding and locating capabilities combined into one product. Unlike Jergens Ball Lock, used only for fixture to fixture applications, these locators can be used to hold/locate parts during machining as well. The IVB precision locator is used in part manufacturing (fixture to part) or in quick change applications (fixture to fixture), or in any application where simultaneous holding/locating is desired. To accomodate the "diamond pin" locator situation, the receiving bore can be modified by the tolerance desired.

Sample Application: Machine profile of part and clevis without clamps and clamp changes. Use of Invert-A-Bolt™ Precision Locators reduces setup time & cycle time where location and holding in one product is the ideal solution. (Picture shows "see through" part and fixture so that Precision Locators can be seen).
Sample Application 2: ZipFixture™ Quick-Change Setup. Fixture plate is "quick changed" off and on Subplate using Precision Locators for holding/ locating, Invert-A-Bolt™ fasteners for hold-down. Price per location: Approximately 20% lower than Jergens® Ball Lock.
