Modular jig/fixture equipment discounts
offered

Supplier of modular jig/fixture workholding equipment for machine tools - including baseplates, angle plates and cubes - is offering a 25% discount up until end of May, 2007.

On-line workholding and machining equipment supplier, 1st Machine Tool Accessories, has announced a 25% discount offer on all orders for 'LEAVE' modular jig and fixturing equipment and Brighetti reduction bushes placed before the end of May 2007 At the heart of its cost-effective LEAVE range is a series of ready-to-use baseplates, angle plates and cubes which can be equipped with an array of integrated clamping, support or auxiliary components

As a result, customised workholding solutions can be developed to meet individual user requirements at a fraction of the cost or lead times of purpose-designed jigs and fixtures.

Units can be fitted with hydraulic or pneumatic accessories or mounted on rotary tables to meet the most diverse of manufacturing operations.

The system's modular design enables assemblies to be easily modified, reconfigured or duplicated avoiding the need for valuable workholding resources to be dedicated to specific applications.

LEAVE equipment can be mounted on all types of machine tools, making it ideal for general machine shop use.

The system also provides precise coordinate specification and fully adjustable datum planes for simplified part programming.

Key system components are hardened and ground for accurate workpiece location and extended service life, enabling LEAVE workholding modules to be repeatedly reconfigured to suit applications for single or multiple components ranging from just a few millimetres to more than one metre in size.

1st MTA's high precision Brighetti reduction bushes enable drills and boring bars to be mounted quickly and accurately in conventional as well as CNC machine toolholders.
