Modular fixturing systems ALUFIX CLASSIC FixBase® PLATES/CUBES

MODULAR FIXTURING SYSTEMS ALUFIX principle Through holes on all surfaces, thereby connecting possibilities on all six sides. Basic design Origin of element geometry All further dimensions arise by multiplying the initial cube. Initial shape: Cube Marking for holes on all surfaces Through holes on all surfaces Sectional view

MODULAR FIXTURING SYSTEMS ALUFIX element geometry guarantees that the grid in all directions across any number of joins will remain unchanged. Hollow profiles (Light bars) are a logical extension for larger cross sections and lengths. Couplings mounted at both ends create 6 sided connection option. Connection technology Each hole is not only for positioning but also for fixation Twin bolt for positioning Lock and twin bolt Nubs are space saving connection solution for slides, quick couplings and contour blocks.

MODULAR FIXTURING SYSTEMS Application spectrum Simple part supports - simple, direct and without design, built according to the Alufix principle. Here a modular fixturing system with a large range of components comes into its own. Fixtures - According to design and requirements of workpiece data, concept for repeatable use - From checking of purchase parts to series measuring Sophisticated part supports - With measuring, checking and adjusting elements, i.e. dial gauges, retractable plug gauges, moving slides Gap and flush gauges - with folding/removable contour stripe models and or measuring...

MODULAR FIXTURING SYSTEMS Meisterbocks - Outer and inner for front, decklid, floor or complete body-in-white Fuegemeisterbocks (Match metal fixtures) - For front, rear, floor, sidepanels and a complete chassis Cubings - For supporting reference models and single parts in changeover Frames for design models - For supporting Uriol and clay models ALUFIX fixtures can also be used for assembly and alignment, glueing and welding, milling and laser machini

MODULAR FIXTURING SYSTEMS ALUFIX Building block system One system, almost boundless possibilities. No limitations on shape, size, mass of parts. Step by step set up of a part using ALUFIX Classic standard components.

MODULAR FIXTURING SYSTEMS ALUFIX Expert 3D Design Software ALUFIX Expert software makes automatic designs for fixtures with corresponding partlists. You choose the system and define clamping points. The software calculates on the basis of this information complete solutions and variations of a fixture. Simply select the desired ALUFIX system, the basic type of build (frame or plate), the grid size and the position and function of clamping points. On the basis of this input the software calculates complete solutions and variations. For checking purposes and measuring off of surface vectors...

MODULAR FIXTURING SYSTEMS Modular fixturing systems for fixture building Added value: - Best compromise between weight and stability (high and medium tensile-strength aluminium, square profiles without ribs, wear and tear protection (alu anodized all round, steel items hardened/tempered), corrosion protection (alu anodized/chromated all round, steel parts in stainless or specially coated – not burnished!) -Intelligent components, which can later be changed or extended in function (i.e. quick change couplings with hinge, ratchet grip) -Later modifications and extensions to fixtures possible...
