Fixturing for Parts Inspection
From towers and brackets to standoffs and supports, these components are the building blocks for your custom fixturing setup. They elevate parts so you can access a variety of angles for measuring and inspecting while protecting your measuring device from hitting the inspection table. You’ll often see them used with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). They’re not for use in machining applications.
Standoffs raise the height of towers and angle brackets or extend the reach of supports and clamps. Screw them into one another for added length.

Pin supports prop up your workpiece in two places, unlike standoffs and cone supports. Thread them horizontally into an angle bracket so the lip of a part, such as a flange, sits on the pin while the rest sits on the body. They’re especially helpful when you need to measure workpieces from underneath.
Cone supports have a round pointed tip to minimize contact with your workpiece, so they’re often used to prop up delicate parts. They’re also useful for parts with irregular surfaces that slide off larger supports. Made of plastic, they’re nonmarring. Any-angle cone supports have an arm that extends, retracts, and rotates 360°.

Positioners secure components anywhere along the length of their slot, similar to drop-in nuts on T-slotted rails. This gives you the flexibility to install components between the threaded holes on plates, brackets, and towers.
