Quick-Change Tooling, Fixtures, and Vises for CNC Workholding
Reduce Setup Times | Reduce Cycle Times | Be More Productive
"We cut setup times from hours to minutes."
— Drew H. & Luca B. | Bombardier
"Our setups used to take 2 hours. With your modular fixtures it only takes 20 minutes or so."
— Larry B. & Pete L. | LMI Aerospace/Precise Machine
"We reduced our cycle time on one part from 8 hours to 12 minutes, using Invert-A-Bolt™ fasteners."
— Jeff B. | Advanced Precision Machining Inc.

Rick Explains the Different CNC Workholding Invert-a-bolt Fastener Sizes and Functions
We had a request recently from somebody who asked us “what do you all with all those fasteners for? What is the point of having all of these different fasteners?” So I’m just going to go through it. I am going to try to make it as quick as possible, but I am going to try to give you some ideas as to why you might use a particular fastener.
Workholding Fixtures & Loading Cart For Trunnion Quick-Change
Hey! Today I'm standing in front of our new and improved loading cart. And I just want to take a very short period of your time to talk about some changes that we’ve made to it and also the quick-change plate. So, I want you to think about 3 minutes 8 seconds. 3 minutes 8 seconds. That’s how long it takes us to quick change this trunnion using this quick-change plate. This plate is made to adapt to the trunnion and in fact we even provide you with the programs so that you can do that adaption.
New CNC Workholding Product Reveal!
Today, I’ve got a big product reveal, now first of all let me just say, don’t start calling me and trying to buy this product right now. We’re close. We’ve got the prototype. We’ve got the patent pending going, but, um, we’re not quite ready. Just giving you the reveal, just trying to stroke the fire. So, let me show it to you, ok?
Inquiries Regarding Quick-Change Plate for Trunnion
Today we talk about the lowest cost solution for quick changing a trunnion without a quick change plate. We're going to look at a CAD model of how we can do this using two devices: the patent-pending fastener and a locator that are used in T-slots.
At Cessna, we eliminated over 90% of our dedicated tools by using Elijah Tooling's invert-a-bolt fasteners on a universal common modular fixture. This one fixture was able to run hundreds of different parts over the same tool. Granted, you need to tab or picture frame your part, but that's a small cost compared to the savings in tooling, storage, maintenance and retrieval. Plus, your bolts are always right there when you need them.

The Right Tools Make a Big Difference
Hey guys, today I’m out at the home ranch. You know city boy turned farmer- actually wife turned farmer. Believe it or not we’ve got five heifers, one cow, three donkeys, two horses, four cats, and a dog. So, of course, we’ve got to have a 50 horse tractor and that’s why I’m out here today. I want to talk to you a little bit about our tractor and a lot about our products.
