Universal Common Modular Fixture
Invert-A-Bolt™ (IVB) Universal Common Modular Fixtures (UCMF) are typically used in a lean manufacturing environment, especially for high-speed machining. These unique fixtures, loaded on a tombstone type tooling block, can be used to tool for multiple machining operations all in one setup.

The cost savings derived from using Invert-A-Bolt™ Universal Common Modular Fixtures are numerous and especially applicable in a "lean" manufacturing environment:

• Elimination of tool design of dedicated fixtures
• Elimination of manufacture of dedicated fixtures
• Elimination of storing & maintaining dedicated fixtures
• Elimination of tool rework for engineering changes to part definition
• Elimination of duplicate fixturing
• Elimination of capital investment represented by dedicated fixturing
• Establishment of standardized work holding techniques
• Opportunity to benefit from "quick-change" pallet solutions
• Opportunity to benefit from the Invert-A-Bolt™ fasteners unique holding solution: ease of programming, reduced setup times, reduced obstruction to machining, and characteristics that allow for special use situations

Invert-A-Bolt™ (IVB) Universal Common Modular Fixtures (UCMF) consist of a tooling plate with multi-purpose holes (bushed and in-line threaded holes) and IVB fastener locations. This flat plate fixture is ideal for machining just about any kind of part, either from raw stock, casting, forging or other configuration. Raw stock ("picture framed") parts can be located with the bushings and held by IVB fasteners. Castings, forgings and other configurations can be held/located using modular fixturig components at the the multi-purpose hole locations. Multi-Purpose Hole
Universal Common Modular Fixture
Invert-A-Bolt™ Universal Common Modular Fixtures** are constructed from Grey Cast Iron, ASTM Class 40 or as specified by the customer. Fixtures consist of Invert-A-Bolt™ fasteners and bushed (or multi-purpose holes) set on typical centers. Each fixture includes lift holes, Sine Key and/or locator key holes (for location of fixture plate), cap screw holes (for hold down to the baseplate or machine bed) as well as scribed information for row and column designations. The tolerances employed vary based upon the size of the fixture, but typically the thickness is held +/- .0015" holding flatness and parallelity as close as possible. Sine Key locations are set on both the Horizontal and Vertical axes. All locations for bushings and sine key holes are typically held +/-.001" from Horizontal and Vertical Center Lines. These fixtures can be attached to your tombstone or turnkey the whole setup through us!
