Shaft Turning Fixtures

Scope and process

Engineering workflow for shaft turning 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

Hardened centres and drive faces on a rigid base, with the whole assembly ground after heat treatment so concentricity survives the hardening.

Tooling support

Locates on machined datum faces and bores; clamping is placed clear of the tool path.

Choosing the right option

When requesting a proposal for shaft turning 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 locating repeatability after reload, and clamp positions checked against the tool path. Dimensions are verified on CMM against the fixture drawing before despatch.

Commissioning and handover

Proved by turning a shaft in the fixture and measuring runout at both ends — concentricity between the drive and the tailstock centre is what the fixture exists to hold.

Export packing and lead time

Ships assembled with locating elements fitted and clamp positions set. 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

Centres and drive faces wear and lose concentricity. Recheck runout on a master shaft rather than waiting for a scrapped part.
