Modular Fixtures
Modular fixtures are ideal for temporary fastening. You can use all of the modular components for occasional jobs, or short runs or prototypes. It is also used for testing fixtures to see if they’ll have an adequate performance of the design.
The components are available in standard and heavy sizes. The plates and blocks have holes at regular distances. You can use round, rectangular, square and angle plates, plus they can be used on 2 or 4 sides. Most allow JIS or DIN assemblies.
Do your pin fixtures wear out prematurely?
If your locating pins on your fixtures wear out too quickly then we have a solution for you. With a PVD coating which is hard, abrasion resistant, and slippery, resulting in a component that has a longer lifecycle for high-production applications. This extended lifecycle allows these items to remain in production longer with less need [...]
How do I determine the force needed to clamp my workpiece?
There are several factors that should be taken into account to determine the optimal clamping component to be used for your application. We would like to show you in this article a simple way of determining the minimum clamping force needed as a function of two variables: the power of your machine P (in HP) [...]
What are Ball Plungers used for?
Ball plungers have various applications in fixtures and fastening. There are plungers that can be held without applying great pressure. This allows you to install them in drilled holes without requiring too much precision in the drilling. This type of plungers have a tolerance of up to .008” (0.20mm).Among its applications: Position: On the one hand you have the ball plunger and [...]
Factors to consider while designing your fixtures
A fixture is a tool commonly used in the manufacturing industry to hold a device and to be able to machine or assemble a large number of parts, always guaranteeing the interchangeability of the components.One of the purposes of the fixtures is to reduce costs, so they must be designed in such a way that the cost reduction is greater [...]
