City Machine Designs And Builds Customized Workholding Fixtures For Growing Global Market
Share:
MUNCIE, IN (October 21, 2005) - City Machine, a Muncie, Indiana based global supplier of manufacturing systems, designs and builds customized workholding fixtures which reduce set-up and production times, thus increasing the productivity of vertical and horizontal machining centers, while maximizing accuracy. Since its inception in 1935, the company has provided world-class fixturing solutions for many critical parts machining applications in the aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment, medical and job shop industries.
Efficient and detailed design and build strategies are key principles to City Machine's precision machining business, where its high quality standards are legendary. The company's experienced team of engineers start by listening intently to exactly what its customers want incorporated into their fixture designs - including turnkey responsibility, if requested - ensuring that all key features and performance capabilities are available upon completion.
Productivity is increased and set-up time minimized as a result of the fixtures customized design features, which allow more operations to be accomplished per load with less handling time. The company commonly incorporates part sensing, double acting clamping and multiple parts on a fixture face into its designs.
City Machine's superior craftsmanship results in fixtures that provide strategically located part support points so that part deflection is minimized during clamping and machining. Subsequently, when parts are unclamped and removed, they won't "spring back" to an undesired state, resulting in rejected parts. All City Machine fixtures hold parts extremely accurately - and with the degree of rigidity necessary for today's high speed and heavy cut load requirements.
