Meisterbocks, Outline
gauges, Cubings
Not only fixtures for single parts or assemblies can be
assembled from Alufix profiles and components but all
kinds of frames and fixtures up to the size of an original
vehicle.
Meisterbocks
Outer meisterbocks are used for mounting outer skin
parts or groups of any production step. Structures can
be made of different sections or system sizes, to support
different derivatives or vehicle families.
Inner meisterbocks are made to analyse different
interior parts. Part specific machined contours simulate
parts or the original body-in-white parts can be
mounted.
Fuegemeisterbocks (match metal fixtures) are used to
position or match sub-groups, sidepanels, front end
with each other. Joining of single parts to a complete
vehicle is easy with a modular fixturing system.
This method of analysis helps early recognition of
problem areas, enabling cost and time savings in
vehicle development process.
Outline gauges
Outline gauges help to check parts in relation to
neighbouring parts which are represented by outline 3D
contours/strike or stripe models. The contours can also
be removed from the gauge and added to measuring
fixtures using quick change couplings.
Cubings
Alufix basic frames are an ideal base for cubing
elements because of their rigidity, accuracy and
modularity. Cubing base frames for front or rear ends,
doors or complete cubings. Because of its reusability
and modularity Alufix is pre-destined as a platform for
inner cubings, area sections or complete vehicle
cubings.
