Modular Fixturing Systems

Measurement of sensitive components is very important and the alignment of a part and the support points must be taken into account for dimensional accuracy, and hence part fixturing has considerable influence on the measuring results. In such cases the use of modular fixturing systems is called for. Alufix is a modular fixturing system made out of high-tensile aluminium for measuring fixtures, checking gauges, assembly or welding fixtures, cubing, gauges, meisterbocks, blue bucks, data control models. It is indispensable in design, R+D and prototyping areas where a lot of changes during development of a product take place. This modular system for holding workpieces is available in six sizes. The different system sizes can be combined with each other. After their useful life fixtures can be disassembled and the single components can be used for new fixtures. The picture shows a turboshaft mounted on standard Alufix 25 components for CMM measuring. Advantages: high accuracy of all components; very lightweight but very stable; system sizes can be combined; no weight or size limits on workpieces; all fixtures are repeatable; components are reuseable; low storage space required when not in use; parts library in CAD; design software; corrosion free; longlasting and maintenance free.
