(Phillips Precision: Boylston, MA) --  Phillips Precision unveiled a new 12-in. docking rail as part of the Inspection Arsenal Loc-N-Load CMM fixture system at Quality Expo in Dallas. The new rail is designed to fit smaller coordinate measuring machines (CMM) while also satisfying users of larger CMMs wanting to dedicate only a portion of the granite for fast-swap fixtures. The smaller rail accepts all of the side interlocking Loc-N-Load CMM fixture plates.

Also added is a simple, low-cost adapter plate so inspectors can easily adopt the lean techniques of the Loc-N-Load CMM fixture system. The new adapter plate simply adds the Loc-N-Load signature shape to existing fixtures, which can then be secured to a Loc-N-Load docking rail for fast, repeatable setups.
