Fixture kits for CMM table

Also, another option is to buy "pieces" form Rayco, and build your own system. Unless you are going to buy the biggest and baddest, chances are it won't quite do everything you need it to do. We have a 24x24 rayco, but I never liked the base. So, we made up some 6x6 blocks, put a c-bore in them and the 1/4-20 taps that the rayco stuff uses. I just place my blocks where I need them, the "pieces" from rayco on them, and I have a much more versatile system than the standard rayco. I am not sure if it is rayco or something else, but I also have a vacuum system with mine, a little air vacuum pump, little plastic cups with the rubber suction cup inside that is 'driven' by the vacuum pump. Works fairly well for non-magnetic parts, but IMO, a little too rigid, not flexible enough as for angles and whatnot. But, the system might be too strong for weak plastic parts.
