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.
Invert-A-Bolt™ Fasteners
Flush mounted back bolt system that secures stock and work-holding materials from underneath.
Precision Location
EZE-Drive™ threaded inserts and ZipBushing™ Precision Threaded Locator Bushings are used for precision location.
Quick Change FIXTURING
The ZipFixture™ quick change system rapidly and precisely changes out parts, plates, and tooling.

Quick-Change Demo For Vises and Trunnions
So what we're going to do, is we're going to load our vices, we're going to load a part, we're going to probe it in, we're going to cut it. And then, we're going to go to the next step; which is to load our trunnion, load it, load a part and start it up. What's the point? Well, we're trying to show you how fast you can load and unload your parts of course. And then, also how fast it is to bring the trunnion in, and precisely locate it; get it into place and start machining with it.
Three Reasons To Consider Using An Over-Sized Work-holding Tooling Plate
We've got three big features to consider a plate that's oversized. One: we get more travel out of our, or use of our travels. Two: ergonometrics, making it easier for the machine operator. And three: if we're using a fourth axis trunnion we're benefiting ourselves again from the travel standpoint.
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.

Why Taking A Regular Sabbatical Is Important
Hey, as you can see there's a stream right behind me and if you listen carefully, you can hear the rain falling. I'm actually not in my normal location: Denton, Texas. I'm up in the Hochatown, Oklahoma. A lot of people call it Broken Bow because Broken Bow is nearby, but I'm on sabbatical.
