Phillips Precision’s Products Division announces the new Cross-Member as part of the Inspection Arsenal fixture system. Phillips Precision says it offers the only universal, quick-swap fixture systems. The company also provides quick, creative fixture design.
The Cross-Member is a solution that turns any clamp or vise on its side, providing more versatility for access to critical part features. Made of black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, the Cross-Member is designed with .5" holes on each end to fit over any standard .5" diameter standoff with thumb screws to secure at any height. A single row of fixture mounting holes (1/4-20 or M6) are located on the sides of the Cross-Member, perpendicular to the holes on the surface plate. The Cross-Member is available in both inch and metric versions to give CMM programmers more set up options.
Phillips Precision’s Inspection Arsenal reportedly enables users to inspect more parts per shift; create multiple quick-swap setups per CMM; move fixtures from one machine to another; increase the number of employees who inspect; adapt and reuse existing fixtures; access granite surfaces easily; use CMM palletization features; and work toward lights-out inspections.
According to the company, Arsenal complements other fixturing systems users may have, and the value makes converting from other techniques very cost effective. Plates with air-glide feature are made to order. Standard Loc-N-Load product is ready-made and the company has a same-day shipping policy.
