Left
is an example of a fixture plate design for one of our CNC customers.
New
to the CNC industry, they needed a complete turnkey solution. There
were
several large quantities of small parts they wished to run in a
production
environment. We came up with a subplate that would accept several
fixtures.
Each fixture change-over was done within 30 minutes. They simply
removed
several cap screws and installed another fixture. The X, Y & Z
coordinates
were the same for all three fixtures. We also wrote all the programs
and
sub-programs, tooled the entire family of parts, built all the
fixtures,
instructed their operators, and did a run off in their plant. We have
since
returned to thier facility and done some minor maintenance for them.
The
customer has since added several of their own fixture plates, fashioned
after ours, and ran additional jobs as well. The purpose of this
project
was to enable the customer to keep a cash flow while they concentrated
on other longer term projects. It did just that and more. They've since
moved into a facility ten times the size they began with and are doing
very well today. We were happy to be of service and glad to contribute
to thier success. Now, what can we do for your business?

This
is a
view of one of our multi-station (8) indexing fixtures. The components
are assembled and ready for final assembly and machining. This assembly
was engineered to hold tolerances of +/- .0005" consistantly and index
in 90 degree increments. Perpendicularity, parallelism, and angularity
all had to be within .001". Adapter plates (not shown) were supplied to
adapt to additional parts and also allow for a line of metric
components.
