Loc-Down® System
The Mitee-Bite Loc-Down® System is designed as a programmer’s and operator’s dream for quickly and easily securing small and large aerospace parts. Its compact design provides a tighter pattern on grid plates compared to other options in the market, saving material costs in expensive aerospace alloys.
Loc-Down® generates high holding force and provides low-profile “out-of-the-way” clamping that allows programmers to be very creative. Designed to accelerate production for the aerospace industry, it allows aggressive machining by applying forces that will affect or influence the part.
- Ideal for grid plates, tombstones and custom applications
- 100% Heat Treated Stainless Steel
