Forging Fixtures

Scope and process

Engineering workflow for forging fixtures at Dahegam, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India: 3D CAD modeling of part workholding envelope → FEA clamping force and deflection analysis → CNC machining of hardened baseplates and locator nests → grinding of locating dowels and wear pads → laser CMM verification of critical datum points.

Materials we work with

Heavy build to take roughing loads, with gripping faces suited to a rough, hard skin. Body material is chosen for the duty — tool steel where wear or heat is the issue, aluminium where the fixture must be lifted by hand.

Tooling support

Locates on the forging datums with clamps that will not slip on scaled or draughted surfaces.

Choosing the right option

When requesting a proposal for forging fixtures, please provide component 3D CAD models (STEP/IGES), 2D part drawings indicating critical datums, machine table specifications (T-slot pitch, pallet size), and target cycle time. Quotes with 3D concept layouts are issued within 24 hours.

Quality checks and inspection

On a fixture the check that matters is first-datum position on the forging envelope and stock left for finishing. Dimensions are verified on CMM against the fixture drawing before despatch.

Commissioning and handover

Handed over after a first-off on a worst-case rough part, so remaining machining allowance is proven.

Export packing and lead time

Ships with adjustable supports set and their positions recorded. HEMSUN is a DGFT IEC registered exporter (Government of India); commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin accompany international despatch.

Maintenance and spare parts

Adjustable supports drift under repeated clamping; re-verify their settings at a planned interval.
