Modular component best solution for Assembly fixture and checking fixture
Fixtures are tooling devices used to locate, support and hold workpieces during a manufacturing process.
A modular fixture system is a versatile alternative to a single–purpose, dedicated fixture. Constructed from a kit of interchangeable components, the modular fixture is easily reconfigured for any work holding application. When not in use, the fixture can be dismantled for convenient storage.Modular systems are ideal for intermittent or one–time use. They are commonly used to:
- Stage parts for CMM inspections
- Hold work pieces during machining
- Position parts when checking or assembling
For these applications, the modular system saves time and reduces cost.The dimensions and accuracy of various types of profile enable rigid configurations in any type and dimension.Modular fixture systems enable fast realization of projects from plan to product.
Advantages of modular component
- high accuracy of all components
- 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
- component design principle has always been adhered to

7 年This modular concept is good for manufacture the first prototype parts necessary to build test and certify the first welded car. Unfortunately if we try to use these modular concepts for height production volume fixture we face trouble especially for welding accessibility. Therefore the correct méthode is to maintain the highest amount of standard component for accuracy, cost, lead time to build and reusability purpose.
