1. Conical locator is used for locating the workpieces having a cylindrical hole in the workpiece. The workpiece is found located by supporting it over the conical locator inserted into the drilled hole of the workpiece.

2. Vee locator is used for locating the circular and semi-circular type of Workpieces.

3. Cylindrical locator is used for locating components.

Having drilled holes. The cylindrical component to be located is gripped by a Cylindrical locator fitted to the jig's body and inserted in the drilled hole of the Component.

Conical locators are used TP center work piece and are used for rough bore location.

Explain pressure type of locators in jigs and fixtures.

Conical locator shape in triangle in round shape as diameter variation locating adjustable in the hole.

The diameter of a Conical locator is gradually decrease towards the bottom side so it is easy to fix an object in considerable variation.

The conical locator has a wide range of variation in diameter which can be held on so for this case it is suitable.

Conical locator is locate the proffer.

Conical pins provides line contact and recommended for work pieces with varying hole size.

What is the difference between conical and diamond locator?

Why diamond locator not use? I think it's also usable in this situation.

Why Diamond locator cannot be used? Please explain it.
