Overview
The Pascal Pal Fix (CPK) is a pallet clamp built around a dual surface holding taper cone. Pascal says it combines high rigidity with high precision machining, with repeatability within 3 µm.
Key Features
- Dual surface holding taper cone
- The taper surface locates the pallet in X and Y, and the seating surface locates it in Z. Pascal calls this dual surface positioning.
- High rigidity
- Pascal says the design combines high rigidity with high precision machining.
- Repeatability within 3 µm
- Pascal rates repeatability within 3 µm up to each size's rated load; 5 µm applies at higher loads.
- CAD data available
- 2D DXF and 3D IGES, Parasolid, STEP and Solidworks files are on Pascal's site.
Product Line / Models
Pal Fix is a matched pair, offered in five sizes:
- CPK-N – Locate ring, mounted in the pallet (sizes 06, 08, 10, 12, 16).
- CPK-A – Locate base, mounted in the base plate (sizes 06, 08, 10, 12, 16).
- CAD files – 2D DXF and 3D IGES, Parasolid, STEP and Solidworks, with a free Pascal member sign-in.
Applications & Benefits
- Repeatable pallet location: Returns the pallet to the same position within 3 µm, per Pascal.
- Dual surface positioning: The taper surface sets X and Y and the seating surface sets Z, with no re-adjustment after setting, per Pascal.
- Easier design-in: CAD files are ready to drop into fixture and pallet designs.
How to Choose the Right Pascal Pal Fix
- Start with the pallet size and weight.
- Confirm the positioning accuracy your process needs.
- Download the CPK CAD data to check the fit on your pallet and base.
- Review the CPK catalog with PRI for size options.
Why Pascal Pal Fix Is Trusted
- Precision: Pascal rates repeatability within 3 µm.
- Rigid design: The dual surface taper cone combines rigidity with precision, per Pascal.
- Documented: A catalog and full 2D and 3D CAD data are available from Pascal.
