Continuous Machining
- Titanium Window
- Frame
- Part geometry in center area required .34" clearance.
- IVB fasteners made it possible for continuous machining in this area.
In this illustration the part geometry is such that a wheel cutter must be used to form it (see Section A-A).
The use of Invert-A-Bolt™ fasteners allowed the continuous machining of the part in this area versus making multiple stops for numerous clamp changes.
The unique characteristics of the Invert-A-Bolt™ fasteners allowed machining right over the top of them. Recurring clamp changes were eliminated, providing a substantial savings in setup times.
