Pyramid risers

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

Cleveland, Ohio – Jergens Inc.’s three- and four-sided pyramid risers permit multi part load and provide greater access for 5-axis machining applications. Part of the Fixture-Pro line of quick-change modular workholding solutions, Jergens pyramids feature a 30° mounting surface to ensure maximum clearance for spindle and cutting tool paths resulting in more machining per setup

The engineered solutions offer three versatile mounting options. Direct-to-table uses t-slots, center pin and timing key, and is secured using t nuts and Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS). QLS accurately locates and clamps the pyramid to a base element, such as subplates, using a combination of QLS shoulder screws and SHCS. Quick-Loc pallet systems use pull studs (spaced at the industry-standard 96mm pattern) to locate and clamp in a single step.

The light-weight aluminum risers are compatible with virtually all five axis CNC machining centers and ensure the fastest change over and setup times possible. Available in both three-position and four-position configurations, Jergens pyramid risers mate with many top tooling choices including self-centering vises, dovetail vises and ER collet fixtures.
