Ceramic Location and Positioning Pins
Precision Ceramic Location & Positioning Pins: Built for Demanding Fixture Applications
Achieve micron-level positioning accuracy with Doceram’s advanced ceramic and ceramic-steel composite location pins, engineered specifically for resistance welding fixtures, automotive body assembly, and precision manufacturing applications. These innovative pins combine the superior wear resistance and thermal stability of high-performance ceramics with the versatility of modular steel shank systems, delivering unmatched reliability in the harshest production environments.
Precision Tolerances for Critical Applications
Doceram manufactures location pins to exceptionally tight tolerances—as fine as +0/-0.05mm—ensuring consistent, repeatable positioning throughout millions of cycles. This precision is maintained even under extreme conditions, as ceramic materials resist the dimensional changes that plague hardened steel pins when exposed to heat, spatter, and continuous mechanical stress.
Intelligent Material Selection
The distinctive blue Cerazur ceramic offers exceptional abrasion resistance, thermal stability, and remarkable impact strength. Unlike brittle ceramic alternatives, Cerazur withstands normal drops and collisions without fracturing, making it ideal for high-cycle automotive welding fixtures where pins endure continuous contact with hot metal and weld spatter. For applications requiring extreme temperature resistance—such as pins positioned in close proximity to active welds—Volcera ceramic provides superior thermal shock resistance and maintains dimensional stability even in the most demanding thermal environments.
Modular Flexibility for Rapid Deployment
Doceram’s flexible modular system features interchangeable ceramic heads (circular, angular, or flat configurations in round or diamond shapes) combined with various stainless steel shank options including external threaded (ETS), internal threaded (ITS), tapered (TS), and quick-change designs. Standard thread patterns, tapped bases, and quick-change mounting systems enable rapid adaptation to new applications and fast delivery times, getting your fixtures production-ready quickly.
The ceramic-steel composite design strategically places wear-resistant ceramic at contact points while using cost-effective steel for mounting—delivering maximum performance at competitive prices with service life exceeding conventional pins by more than 20 times.
