• A company was able to reduce their number of setups from 7 to
2.
• A complex mill fixture (for tooling an aluminum forging, consisting
of clamp rests, nest blocks, clamps, tooling buttons, etc.) was replaced
by a flat plate with IVB products.
• A titanium window frame had no other valid solution for milling
to within .34" of the base with a special wheel cutter – the
IVB fastener made it possible.
• An EDM customer used the IVB fastener to eliminate head collision
problems.
• Universal fixturing application used with a bag press producing
hydroform parts.
• A company is installing IVB Universal Fixturing Plugs™
(UFP) in a long run production tool as a replacement for helical threaded
inserts. The UFP’s are much easier to work with than threaded inserts.
No need to drill out or use E-Z-Outs when worn out or damaged. Just
screw it out and replace. Plus they last much longer than a standard
threaded insert.
