Fixtureworks® (Fraser, MI), a North American manufacturer and supplier of clamps, fixturing accessories, machine tool components and rollers & bumpers, now offers a complete lineup of Imao® “One-Touch” fasteners.
These pin-and-receptacle fasteners are used to attach fixtures, plates, machine covers and more, joining components with moderate clamping force. A convenient alternative to cumbersome nut-and-bolt assembly, the new One-Touch fasteners provide for quick, easy and secure changeover and installation without the need for any tools.

Imao® One-Touch fasteners from Fixtureworks® help increase productivity by reducing set up times, eliminating errors in assembly and installation and simplifying procedures.
The Imao One-Touch fasteners are available in quarter-turn, knob-locking, button-locking, ball-lock clamping and magnet-lock clamping pins styles.
The quarter-turn clamps provide on/off position easily, high tensile strength with locating repeatability to +/- 0.1 mm. The knob-locking clamps are easy to use and offer secure clamping. The button-locking pin series, made of stainless steel, securely locks and then releases with a press of a button. Ideal for tight workspaces, the clamping pins and magnet lock clamping pins with receptacles offer compact and safe locking.
The quarter-turn clamps come with either a plastic knob, metal knob or low-profile knob to provide flexibility for fastening operations. The bodies are made of nickel-plated steel while the pin is stainless. The plastic knob is fiberglass, and the fastener can provide clamping force to 66.3 ft/lbs.
Similarly, the knob-locking clamps have a nickel-plated body with a fiberglass knob. The ball and spring are made of stainless steel. These types of fasteners can provide clamping force to 36.8 ft/lbs.
Button locking pin clamps come in one of two bodies, nickel-plated and stainless steel. The button is made of either nickel-plated steel, stainless steel or steel. The units provide clamping force to 36.8 ft/lbs.
