Abstract
A system for the bidirectional precision location and locking of mobile members in a repetitive position comprises structure for positioning the mobile member along its traversing axis and structure for locking the mobile member along the other two axes orthogonal to the traversing axis. The positioning structure is constituted by members which can be operated in order to engage with the two opposing sides of an abutment on the mobile member, while the locking structure is constituted by members which can be operated in order to couple to projections on the mobile member and to lock it against the fixed member.
