Strange mounting system?
Strange mounting system?
(OP)
Anyone ever seen this type of mounting system? Aluminum hollow tubes with 4 slits and a set screw in the center to spread the tube in order to tighten. This is how a robotic arm is mounted. My problem is i am trying to find a tool that is made for this to spread the 4 slits in order to get the set screw to start catching threads. I fought with this for hours having to use 4 small jeweler screwdrivers to spread it before being able to start the set screw. I'm thinking there must be a tool or better system.

Note that the position adjuster is not intended to do anything more than to set a position and is normally not loaded; the concentric tool keeps the adjuster from moving while you crank down on the the set screw.
