Welcome to the Fixture-Manager Hompage.

Get latest information about my Fixture-Control. It is predestined for simulating fixture-interfaces i.e. the Trumpf® Laser KSS.

For use in repair, check and measuring pneumatic jigs.

 

NEW!    The Fixture Manager Desktop Software, 

even faster, better and more flexible

 

Optimizing setup times and OEE with Fixture-Manager for laser cutting of 3D parts

With hot-stamping in automotive sector, laser-cutting of structural parts on Trumpf® and Prima-Industries® 5-axis laser cutting systems was introduced on a large scale. Since the fixtures, required for this, often caused machine downtime for various reasons, we developed a tool control for pneumatic laser-cutting fixtures. This control is equipped with intelligent software to test pneumatic clamps, detect errors, support repeatability measurements and carry out optimizations from outside of the production system.

The Software is able to automate the programming of clamping sequences, so that adjustments on the laser system can be reduced to a minimum. Existing clamping sequences can be read out by machines and simulated via the control in the test field. Complex sequences can be created very easy and be used directly in the machine after the simulation. Software and control unit can be used both separately and in combination.

The machine setter saves expensive machine time by being able to set sequences even before the product change.
The maintenance is able to guarantee the optimal functioning and the pneumatic tightness of the fixture many times faster. Downtimes in the production process are greatly reduced.
You can now check the repeatability of the clamping device in the measuring room under realistic conditions.
Thanks to the diagnostic functions, you can recognize mechanical, electrical and pneumatic changes at an early stage and take preventive actions for maintenance.

You can be sure that this investment will be amortized in a very short time. If you would like to know more about how to reduce downtime with Fixture Manager, contact us today.
