The document describes RAPid Tooling Components produced by Rentapen Inc. that provide adjustable locating pins for precision welding. RAPid Blocks and Shims can be configured in various ways using different combinations of blocks and shims to finely tune the position of locating pins in a weld fixture before mass production. Diagrams show 30 configurations of how the blocks and shims can be arranged to achieve the needed adjustability for accurate locating pin placement.

2. 3-Way Adjustability
These RAPid Shims™ and RAPid Blocks™ create
adjustability for locating pins to fit for
precision welding.
The locating pin’s position in the weld fixture
can be finely tuned before mass production
begins.
Precision shims are added or removed between
the blocks to make sure the pin is in the right
location.
