Zero Point Fixtures

Scope and process

Engineering workflow for zero point 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 receiver modules on a ground base plate, with pull studs matched to the receiver set.

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 zero point 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 repeated clamp and release cycles with position measured each time — the entire value of a zero-point system is repeatability, so that is what is demonstrated.

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

Clamping modules collect swarf and lose repeatability. Cleaning schedule matters more here than component wear.
