A high density slider clamp fixture is disclosed for accurately positioning a large number of head sliders for metrology testing. The slider clamp fixture may include a single piece, monolithic structure comprising a large number of slider nests, aligned in rows and columns in the slider fixture. Each slider nest includes a reference datum surface machined to precisely align with all other reference datum surfaces in a row of the monolithic structure. Each slider nest further includes a flexure clamp for independent clamping of each slider in the row against the reference datum surfaces.

The present invention relates to a straight edge clamp that has a clamping head assembly and a stop assembly mounted upon the body of the straight edge. The head and stop are not connected together and the stop assembly is free to move with respect to the head assembly. The stop assembly has a locking assembly that allows it to be locked to the straight edge. The straight edge clamp body can include sections that are adapted to be connected together to form the overall length of the straight edge clamp.

A fixture block composite structure for workpiece positioning comprises a fixture block group composed of at least a stop fixture block and at least a one-sided movable fixture block. The stop fixture block is fixed to a base by a plurality of mountings, and two opposite lateral sides of the stop fixture block in the extending direction of base are provided with a fixed upright positioning plane respectively. The one-sided movable fixture block has a fixed holder, the holder is fixed to the base by a plurality of mountings. The holder is provided with a movable piece which can be driven to reciprocate towards the positioning plane on the stop fixture block. The movable piece is provided with a clamping surface on one side facing the positioning plane.

A router bit vise that holds and prevents the rotation of a router bit in a selected direction. It includes a tool housing and a cylindrical throughbore. Located in the throughbore is a one-way clutch assembly sized to accept a router bit shank. When inserted into the one-way clutch passageway, the router bit shank is engaged by the one-way clutch mechanism preventing movement in one rotational sense and allowing freewheeling movement in the opposite sense. No externally applied clamping force is required. With the router bit shank engaged with the one-way clutch circumferential rotation of the router bit is controlled allowing for bit maintenance, including cleaning, sharpening and most importantly enabling the application of the torque necessary to tighten or loosen a router bit fastener with no potential for shank slipping or damage.

A vise includes a stationary jaw at one end of a rail and including a moveable jaw member having a clamping surface, and a lever having a cam at one end engaged with the jaw member; and a moveable jaw on the rail and including a moveable member engaging with a limit member at the other end of the rail; a jaw element having one end secured to the moveable member and having a clamping surface at the other end, an internal moveable wedge secured to the clamping surface of the jaw element and having first and second inclined surfaces; two opposite arms pivotably secured to the moveable member wherein one ends of the arms contact each other and engage with the first and second inclined surfaces respectively, and each arm has a cavity on an outer edge; and two urging blocks complimentarily engaging the arms respectively.

A chuck mechanism operates a piston in a cylinder tube by using action of compressed air and opens and closes, by using a rod coupled to the piston, a pair of fingers, thereby gripping work W. The locking mechanism locks the fingers at work grip positions. The locking mechanism includes a first locking member, a second locking member, and a drive device. The first locking member is displaced when the pair of fingers are opened or closed. The second locking member retains the first locking member so as to lock the fingers at the work grip positions. The drive device relatively displaces the first locking member and the second locking member to locking positions and non-locking positions.
