A dedicated hydraulic fixture designed around the part, not around a catalogue. We take your 3D model, the machine table drawing and the tolerance stack, then design the locating scheme, the clamp sequence and the hydraulic circuit so that the part is machined in one set-up with no re-clamping between operations.
Typical use: aluminium or cast-iron housings, covers, brackets, bearing carriers and valve bodies in batch sizes from 200 to 50,000 pieces per year, where cycle time and repeatability both matter.
Technical data
| Clamping | Hydraulic, 50–160 bar working pressure, sequence-controlled |
|---|---|
| Stations | 1 to 8 per fixture, single or double sided |
| Location accuracy | 0.01 mm; repeatability 0.005 mm |
| Body material | Cast iron HT250 or stress-relieved steel, ground datum faces |
| Clamping elements | Swivel clamps, swing clamps, wedge clamps, support cylinders |
| Hydraulic unit | Optional power pack: 1.5–7.5 kW, air-hydraulic or electric |
| Control | Manual valve panel, or interface to machine M-code |
| Machine interface | T-slots, zero-point grid or sub-plate, per your table drawing |
How it is built
Design review before metal is cut
We return a DFM note within 3 working days: datum choice, clamping force, wall thickness risk, chip evacuation and clearance to the tool holder. Nothing is machined until you sign the design.
Prove-out before shipment
Every fixture is assembled, pressure-tested at 1.5× working pressure and run through a trial cut. You receive the trial-cut video, the CMM report and the hydraulic schematic.
Spares that fit
Clamping elements, seals and locating pins are standard catalogue items, so a worn clamp is a next-day replacement rather than a new fixture.
