Quick Change Tool Free Flat Head Stepped Locating Pin for Assembly Lines

This durable Quick Change Tool Free Flat Head Stepped Locating Pin for Assembly Lines from Qimao Metal Manufacturer enables instant, no-tool changeovers on assembly lines. The spring-loaded detent mechanism allows operators to remove or insert the pin by hand, reducing downtime significantly. The flat head stays softer so it won't chip if you tap it. Each pin gets a quick pass on a comparator to check step depth and head thickness. Tolerances hold at plus or minus 0.01mm on the steps. Packed in waxed paper bags, ten per small cardboard box.

The flat head stepped locating pin design provides precise Z-axis positioning, while the flat head sits flush against fixtures. Ideal for pallet stops, workpiece locating stations, and modular fixturing systems. Constructed from hardened tool steel with anti-wear coating.

Compatible with standard receiver bushings. Color-coded head options aid visual identification of pin sizes. Eliminate wrenches, reduce ergonomic strain, and accelerate model changeovers with this quick-change pin solution.

How To Use

Push the pin straight into the first locating bore until the flat head touches the plate surface. That's it – no tools needed. The stepped part finds its own depth because the larger step stops against the counterbore. If the Quick Change Tool Free Flat Head Stepped Locating Pin for Assembly Lines goes in crooked, pull it out by gripping the head edge with two fingers and try again. For tight bores, wipe a tiny drop of light machine oil on the step diameter – never on the flat head surface. To remove, hook a fingernail under the head edge or use a plastic pry wedge. Don't use a metal screwdriver unless you don't care about scratching the plate. On fast assembly lines, operators can swap pins in under two seconds.
