Fixturing Techniques and Practices

Wednesday, July 20 from 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.

Session Code: WE22

Track: Techniques & Applications

Speaker: Cesare Magnani, Biesse America

In this session, Cesare will explore techniques and materials to prepare custom fixtures. He begins with a discussion on cost/benefit to determine when it is worth preparing a fixture and the alternatives to custom fixtures that may be available.  The seminar progresses with a complete analysis of fixtures in the manufacturing process, from design to programming, to the correct choice of substrates and gasket materials to achieve the best results based on applications. Attendees will see examples of fixtures based on practical applications, differences between simple flat fixtures and fixtures for 5-axis applications, as well as live machine demonstrations.  Attendees leave with knowledge on the manufacturing parameters to be considered when planning for custom fixtures as well as the alternatives, and the best material choices and practices for fixture preparation.
