Rest button with vee groove 1

[Timelord]

I am designing a kinematic mount using tooling components. I am looking for a rest button with a vee groove to locate a ball nose in one dimension. I looked at the usual suppliers like Carr-Lane and Reid and they only carry plain rest buttons. Does anybody know of a tooling component supplier that carries rest buttons with a vee groove?

Many thanks,

Timelord

By "vee groove", do you mean a conical recess? If so, you might take a look under "ball detents" in the Carr-Lane catalog and see if that might work.

eromlignod,

I am using a ball detent (conical recess) for the primary locator. I am looking for a rest button with a liner vee groove for the secondary locator. About 15 years ago I designed something very similar and I recall using a rest button with a linear vee groove. I just cannot seem to find the supplier that I got them from.

Thanks,

Timelord
