If you’ve ever done any small production runs of anything that needs a bit of assembly, you know that jigs and fixtures are a huge time saver. However, these usually need to be mounted, which means ...

Although composites offer many benefits, the historically high costs and long cycle times required for manufacturing components from complex, fiber-reinforced materials have been and remain a ...

Comprehensive process optimization begins with an evaluation to identify the best combination of tooling, fixturing, machines, and cycle times. The Seco Engineered Solutions team evaluates the scope ...

When you start building lots of something, you’ll know the value of accurate fixturing. [Chris Borge] learned this the hard way on a recent mass-production project, and decided to solve the problem.

Many in the composites industry know that Janicki Industries introduced computer numerical control (CNC)-machined tooling to the marine industry and that it specializes in large, technically complex ...

The CL5 quick-change five-axis workholding system consists of three components: a subplate, a riser, and top tooling made up of a vise or a fixture plate. The subplate transforms a T-slot table into a ...
