What is modular fixturing?

Modular fixturing is a workpiece holding system that uses a series of components for building specialised workpiece holders. It allows for rapid and economical setup, consisting of tooling plates, clamps and components. Renishaw's wide range of modular fixturing can improve throughput, reproducibility and accuracy of your inspection process with quick and repeatable fixturing set-ups.

  • Unrivalled durability, wear resistance and quality
    Our heat treated steel components and hardcoat anodised base plates provide a smooth and scratch resistant finish.
  • Enhanced productivity during part inspection
    Renishaw's FixtureBuilder software helps users create fixturing set-ups, provides documentation and assists with off-line programming.

Frequently asked questions

Why use fixturing in metrology?

Fixturing ensures repeatable and reliable results for workpiece inspection. Renishaw offer easy to use and hardwearing quality made fixtures which ensure these results. This replaces the need for using unreliable and unrepeatable systems like putty, bolts, and step clamps.

How does a base fit to a machine?

Renishaw fixturing offer Quickload solutions for quick changeover of parts, which work through magnets and locating pins. The benefit of these is that part changeover can be completed in seconds, necessary for any modern-day production facility.

How should I decide which products are required for my fixturing setup?

Understand the workpieces critical features and from there consider the weight, shape, size and fixturing needs. A perfect starting place is Renishaw fixturing kits as these include many parts required to fixture a variety of workpieces.

How do I know how to fixture my workpiece?

Renishaw offers various guides on how to fixture correctly. Some fixtures however may required a custom solution, for help with this, please fill out a custom request form.
