With FIVE U-nique, a fully automated flexible fixturing solution, precise fixtures can be rapidly created for an unlimited number of part configurations, providing support and reference for the workpiece.
FIVE U-nique is an innovative approach to flexibly fixture items for inspection on a coordinate measurement system. Prior to initiating the component inspection process, it establishes accurate and repeatable part holding fixtures using the coordinate measurement system.
The primary mechanical component of the CMM is a jackable column, which comes in various sizes and is installed on the baseplate to support the part being inspected. The system can have either a mechanical or magnetic basis, depending on the machine it is used with. Additionally, there are various add-ons that can be mounted on the columns, such as part-locking, supporting, and referring modules.
With the software, you can accurately disassemble and rebuild the fixture by storing the reference location of every column.
