CUSTOM
TOOLING
(MBTS) The Master Beam Tooling System is a 4th axis
tooling system that saves
expensive set-up time.
The beam itself, is ground for precision and is on the centerline of the 4th axis.
The bolt patterns of the beam allow the use of fixtures up to 8" X 10",
the most common size being 6" X 6". It can also accommodate up to an 8"
chuck or a 4" vise.
Beams come in different lengths, so you can use multiple fixturing and chucks.
The face of the beam, being on centerline, allows for the ease of programming
work on the 4th axis.
In the view below, you can see how 4th
axis work can be
done using a special adapter for the bolster.
This adapter uses the same bolt patterns as the beam so the
fixtures are interchangeable.
