Modified Clamp for Quick-Swap Fixture



Phillips Precision's Products Division offers its modified Riser-Grip Clamp as part of the Inspection Arsenal LEAN, Quick-Swap inspection fixture system. "Not only does Phillips Precision offer the only quick-swap standard fixture systems, but it provides quick, creative fixture design," said a company spokesperson. "Inspection Arsenal tooling is designed to help optimize inspection process and uncover hidden profits," said a company spokesperson.

The redesigned Riser-Grip full-access clamps' design allows the top jaw containing a brass tipped set screw to adjust up and down and lock into place. V-grooves are added to the holding surface bi-directionally to secure small round parts for inspection. Threaded holes in the base accommodate stops. Riser-Grip is machinable and can be customized for unique parts. Use for CMM and vision inspection. It can secure parts of .0 to 2.1" (0 mm to 53.3 mm) in thickness featuring clear anodized aluminum, it fits 1/4-20, 1/2" and 1" fixture plate hole patterns. Inquire about Riser-Grip for metric hole patterns.

Inspection Arsenal benefits include:

  • Inspect more parts per shift
  • Create multiple quick-swap set-ups per CMM
  • Move fixtures from one machine to another
  • Increase the number of employees who inspect
  • Easily adapt and reuse existing fixtures
  • Access granite surface easily
  • Use CMM palletization features
  • Work toward lights-out inspections
  • Use as dedicated tooling - add it to the job box.

"Inspection Arsenal complements other fixturing you may have and the value makes converting from other techniques very cost effective. Plates with air-glide feature are made to order. Standard Loc-N-Load product is ready-made and the company has a same-day shipping policy, so an order today can be improving efficiency by tomorrow," said the spokesperson.
