FIXMES
Alufix parts library for CAD systems
Fixmes is an Alufix parts library on a geometric basis for designing
and documenting fixtures. Using Alufix standard elements
fixtures can be built in a fraction of the time required
previously. By designing the fixture on-screen expensive idletimes
of the measuring machine are avoided.
The principle:
at the CAD workplace the user designs a desired fixture for
workpiece machining or measuring using Alufix components.
To do so he can use all parts available in the Fixmes library..
The selection is made according to one
of the following features:
Item No.
Name
Dimension
The parts of the fixture can be displayed as a wire model or
solid. For a clearer image and an increase in speed individual
planes or elements (holes) can be excluded. A printout of the
finished fixture includes a parts list.
The advantages:
Shorter design times
Better prolonged use of
measuring machine
Timely preparation of fixture
Documentation for later
repeat assembly of fixture
Short term changes can be
carried out quickly
No training necessary,
CATIA or AutoCAD functions are utilised
Also for off-line programming
