Phillips Precision offers Open-Sight, a fast-swap fixture plate system for vision inspection. Open-Sight docking rails and plates are the vision adaptation of the company's Loc-N-Load aluminum plates designed for traditional CMMs.
Customers can choose 6" and 12" length docking rails. Either size can be joined end-to-end for added length. On larger machines, docking rails can be installed opposite one another to create more locations and for greater stage coverage. Magnetized, interlocking 1/2" thick scratch-resistant polycarbonate plates are available in sizes 6" x 6", 6" x 8", 8" x 8" and 8" x 12". Each plate is offered with patterns of 1/4-20 or M6 threaded holes to accept Inspection Arsenal trigger-action clamps. Blank plates are also available at a reduced cost for customers to add holes only where needed.
"Now users have the option to dedicate a low-cost plate for gauging to speed up re-calibration - a significant time saver, especially on multi-sensor machines," said a company spokesperson. "Users can dedicate plates for repeat parts when it makes sense for a fixture to become part of a job kit for lean set-up reduction."
