Complete modular metrology fixturing guide for CMMs
A complete technical guide to base plates, standoffs, clamps, towers and QuickLoad configurations for repeatable positioning in CMM, Equator and vision measurement.
Detailed technical information
This complete technical guide covers Renishaw modular fixturing for repeatable workpiece positioning on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), Equator gauging systems and vision systems. M4, M6, M8 and 1/4-20 thread systems can be combined with base plates, standoffs, clamps, adjustable supports, towers and magnetic components according to workpiece size, weight and inspection method. QuickLoad rails and corners support repeatable base-plate positioning, while FixtureBuilder supports 3D fixture modelling and work-instruction creation. Confirm the measuring equipment, workpiece size and material, and probe access before final selection.
KEY FEATURES
