Multi-Station Fixtures

Scope and process

Engineering workflow for multi-station 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

Common base with repeated locating and clamping sets, aligned so every station machines alike. 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 identical parts at each station from a common datum scheme.

Choosing the right option

When requesting a proposal for multi-station 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 station-to-station consistency measured across all positions, not just the first. Dimensions are verified on CMM against the fixture drawing before despatch.

Commissioning and handover

Handed over with a consistency check measured across every station, not just the first.

Export packing and lead time

Ships as an assembly with each station identified and its offsets documented. 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

Stations wear at different rates depending on load; recheck station-to-station consistency periodically.
