A-Pillar production fixture

40mm aluminium plate with two mecano-welded openings for handling of the fixture by forklift.
Fastening of the part by clamps and support pins. Option: in case of control of the part after its hot-stamping and after its laser cutting, possibility of integrating to the fixture rectractable support pins, to make the fixture suitable for the two versions of part.
Control of the part shape and outline by a block - in resin or aluminium - with a gap and flush controlled by Go/No Go pin.
Control of the deformation of the part main critical areas by dial indicator.

Description	In the example shown here, the fixture enables to control two versions of the same part: - after the hot-stamping of the part (main shape and features of the part defined) - after its final laser-cutting (final outline and 100% holes defined).
Materials and tolerances	Our checking fixtures are produced in aluminium, the components submitted to wear-and-tear are produced in steel. Tolerances for RPS (fixation points) and dial indicator points: ±0.05mm. Tolerances for simulation blocks: ±0.1mm.
Documentation delivered	Minimum documentation: dimensional report of your checking fixture, 2D assembly drawing, assembly CAD. Optional documentation: R&R report, user manual, stabilization certificate.
Cycle time and traceability	Integrating CAPTOR-S or CAPTOR-C system to this type of fixture enables to reduce the measurement cycle time by 70% and to improve the reliability of the measurement. These systems thus enable to the production process to be more reactive - quicker decision-making, possibility of measuring more parts -.
