dowel pins in holes. As the Tool Plate approaches during locking, the taper lets the
Tool float into its locked position even with small deviations in position.
Other Tool locating feature methods include balls and detents, dowel pins in
notched V-grooves, etc. Please consult ATI for recommendations or assistance with
locating feature design for your particular tooling.
Straight cylindrical dowel pins
should not
be used as they provide too much
surface engagement. During coupling and uncoupling, the Tool can bind on these
pins due to misalignment of the Master and Tool Plates.
