Chevin Tools offer a complete design and manufacture service to produce bespoke production fixtures for both horizontal, vertical and 5 axis to facilitate the production of high volume parts to meet the challenging demands of industries such as automotive, aerospace, oil and gas and food technology.

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES OF A CHEVIN TOOLS DESIGNED HYDRAULIC FIXTURE

  • Higher machining precision.
  • Lower production costs.
  • Increases output.
  • Fewer operational sequences.
  • Reduced loading, unloading and ejection times.
  • Lower reject rates.
  • Dedicated designs.
  • Double acting clamp cylinders guarantee positive release.
  • Part sensing & machine integration guarantee safer loading & machining process.

WHAT IS ZERO POINT FIXTURING?

 

  • A quick-change spring-hydraulic or pneumatic clamping system that ensures the correct position of parts whilst machining.
  • Duplicate top plates facilitate loading and clamping off the machine while the fixture plate remains on the machine bed / table
  • Positioning and clamping between the top plate and fixture plate is streamlined into a single operation, reducing setup time on the machine by up to 90
  • Each Zero Point clamp is positionally accurate to 0,005mm and generates and extremely rigid in application
  • By standardising the plate design the Zero Point fixturing can be used as a modular system to increase the adaptability of a fleet of machines
