| Problem |
High speed spindle requires replacement due to crashes. |
| Solution |
IVB fasteners provide low profile, small footprint holding with minimal obstruction to machining. |
| |
|
| Problem |
Problems keeping bolts and clamps with the mill fixture between production runs... |
| Solution |
The IVB fastener is a self-contained unit that installs directly into the mill fixture. It stays with the mill fixture even when not in use. |
| |
| Problem |
Losing too much time searching for "right length" bolts for the setup... |
| Solution |
This is a consistent problem with NC machined parts in which a counter-bored hole is used (the length is determined by NC programmer). The bolt is contained in the IVB fastener unit and secures the part from underneath, it uses same length bolts for each unit. No "right length" bolt is required. |
| |
| Problem |
Clamps and bolts obstructing the milling process... |
| Solution |
Since the IVB fastener secures the part from underneath with only ½" engagement (.098 cubic inches) in the part, this low obstruction profile allows for milling much closer to the part/tool and holding mechanism. |
| |
| Problem |
Would like to remove tooling tabs during the production process... |
| Solution |
Since the IVB fastener secures the part from underneath, the bolt can be screwed down into the mill fixture during the production process, and tooling tabs can be milled off completely. |
| |
| Problem |
Riser blocks are time consuming and expensive to use... |
| Solution |
IVB work supports require no other preparation other than a tapped hole with one internal bored hole (to hold Z dimension). Their use saves time and resources. |
| |
| Problem |
Too much time preparing the mill fixture from both sides... |
| Solution |
The threaded outer housing of the IVB fastener allows it to be installed directly into the top of the mill fixture without need for any work on the back side of the mill fixture. |
| |
| Problem |
Using a "back-bolt" type process, but having problems shutting down production to replace damaged bolts... |
| Solution |
Since the IVB fastener screws directly into the top of the mill fixture the unit can be easily replaced without removing the mill fixture. |
