Workholding fixtures

Fixtures are built around the part, process, clamping approach, chip flow, loading method, and inspection needs.

Tombstone fixtures

Tombstones and fixture bases can be cast iron, weldments, or bolt-together builds, then machined to specific configurations including T-slot, cross-plain, modular, and custom layouts.

Gaging and testing equipment

Testing and gaging equipment can confirm dimensional specifications through functional gages, variable gages, CMM gages, and tight-tolerance grinding support.
