Modular Jig & Fixture System

Erwin Halder KG, Germany, manufactures high precision Modular Fixturing System wherewith the same set of fixturing elements various components can be clamped precisely and distortion-free. Using Halder-System, fixture building is simple and quick by way of simultaneous fixing and clamping of Halder-elements. Halder-System includes mounting plates, mounting blocks, supporting and locating elements and clamping elements. Its features include: form and friction holding of elements in X and Y axes, high rigidity up to one metre height, quick location of holes, efficient resting of round objects, easy resting of inclined surfaces, precise reference points and perfect and rigid clamping. Halder-system maintains an accuracy of ?10 microns of positioning, angularity and parallelity. Advantages employing Halder-System are: highly flexible for clamping simple/complicated, machined/unmachined components, cutting down fixturing cost by more than 30-40%, considerable idle time reduction, effective fixture designing through CAD and less wear and tear as almost all system elements are made of high alloy steel, case hardened and ground. With Halder-System, building can be done in 1-3 hours depending upon the complexity of component, whereas in conventional fixture, the designing, processing and manufacturing takes considerably long time. And when there is change in the design of a component, in most cases conventional fixtures have to be scrapped while with modular fixturing this question does not arise. Application areas are: series production, quality control, simple and test production and alternative production.
