CMM T-Slot Fixture System
The T-slot modular fixture system for 3-D coordinate metrology features a fabricated T-slot fixture plate that can be produced at a fraction of the cost of traditional tooling plates. The plate and integrated component kit significantly reduce the cost of acquiring a CMM fixture system and improves the functionality. T-slot systems offer infinite positioning of locating components, which simplifies fixture construction. The T-slots are combined with a laser engraved reference system. This provides clear documentation of the fixture setup for easy repeatability.
