Multi-Face Fixtures

Scope and process

Engineering workflow for multi-face 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

Rigid column or cube with matched locating sets on each face, balanced for the rotary axis. 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 parts on two or more faces of a tombstone or cube.

Choosing the right option

When requesting a proposal for multi-face 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 face-to-face squareness and that the assembly runs true on the fourth axis. 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.
