5th Axis Low Profile Bases for Modular CNC Fixtures
5th Axis Low Profile Bases
Quality is built on a precision foundation
5th Axis low-profile RockLock bases provide a compact mounting platform that offers quick-change capabilities, is precision-ground, and is designed to minimize Z-height while maximizing work envelope. These bases are an ideal foundation for a 3-, 4-, or 5-axis CNC workholding setup while maintaining rock-solid rigidity.
| Key Features | |
| Minimal Z-height | Maximizes your machine's usable vertical space and part clearance by minimizing height |
| Rigid & Repeatable | Precision-ground surfaces ensure solid and consistent setups with <0.0003" repeatability on changeovers |
| Modular & Versatile | Compatible with all 5th Axis vises, risers, and RockLock quick-change systems |
| Vibration-Free Clamping Experience | Vibration-free hold during clamping |
| Easy Integration | Available with industry-standard 52 mm and 96 mm mounting patterns for cross-compatibility |

How Much Is Setup Time Costing You?
Every changeover means idle spindle time. Multi-part fixturing slashes setup frequency — so your machines spend more hours cutting and less time waiting.
