Abstract
Assemblies and kits providing the repeatable positioning of a removable component with respect to a reference component are provided. Precision positioning members including a threaded positioning shaft associated with the reference component, a positioning sleeve associated with the removable component and an alignment nut screwed in the positioning shaft and abutting the positioning sleeve are provided. The spatial profile abutments on the positioning sleeve or positioning nut and the thread angle of the positioning shaft threads are selected to provide an automatic alignment of the positioning shaft within the positioning sleeve. A clocking angle lock for locking the relative orientation of the reference component and removable component is also provide, preferably in the shape of precision clocking members. Assemblies including three sets of precision members with slotted sleeves are also provided.
