Specialized in design and development

In order to be able to machine products properly, responsibly and quickly, such as milling, turning, grinding or drilling, a clamping fixture must ensure that the product is clamped stably and without obstacles. A careful look is taken at the to be processed product and the production numbers of it during the development of the clamping fixture in order to design a high-quality and stable clamping fixture. Of course, we also look at in how many clampings the product must be processed, this is product-dependent.

CLAMPING FIXTURES

Via Engineering has experience with various types of products in different industries and different clamping methods such as hydraulic clamping fixtures, pneumatic clamping molds, mechanical fixtures and also clamping with vacuum. We design and develop special custom clamping fixtures for repetitive milling work and ensure that this jig can be used directly on your machine. Multiple clamping products in a fast and dimensionally stable manner reduces production and change times for you as a customer.

Via Engineering has the expertise to think together with the user about the design and ultimately to realize an optimal solution for fixing extrusion profiles, cast iron and forged products and castings. Producing, assembling and testing takes place in our own workshop, enabling turnkey delivery through short lines. If there are parts that can't be made in our own workshop, Via Engineering Deurne BV has the right partners of specialists at its disposal to still arrive at the right end product.

AIR CONTROL AND DETECTION

By processing products on a clamping fixture, it is always possible that there is a chip on the mooring surface, which means that our fixtures are regularly carried out with an air control. This is a simple way to check whether the product is properly placed on or off. This air control also ensures that the surface or contact surface is blown clean when the product is put in.

Also other detection sensors, such as a mold detection, to ensure that the correct program is started with the correct clamping fixture, or to detect the position of a pneumatic cylinder so that it can be checked whether the product is really pressed against its stop, are often used. This greatly reduces the chance of a reject product.

PROJECT

This clamping fixture is intended for drilling a butterfly valve, in which an axis is mounted in the correct position by means of a spline, in the assembled state. Due to the poka yoke principle, the product can't be inserted incorrectly and the chance of a reject product is excluded. The product is positioned pneumatically and by means of a sequence valve hydraulically clamped. The mold is equipped with a mold detection and the pneumatic cylinders have sensors for detecting the position. The fixture is clamped to the machine with zero-point clamping systems. This makes it quick and easy to switch between the different clamping fixtures.

WELDING FIXTURES

In order to position the products to be welded correctly, a welding fixture often has to be made. We always look at the product but also at the welding options.

Here you see a welding fixture on which 3 different products can be positioned. This can be achieved with a quick conversion of a number of parts. The welding fixture is Poka Yoke designed so that the products to be welded can't be inserted incorrectly.

PROJECT

This clamping fixture is intended to clamp aluminum castings so that they can be finished on a horizontal pallet milling machine. This clamping fixture is equipped with various hydraulic circuits. Some circuits are sequenced by means of a sequence valve, so that the work supports come towards the product first and then the swing clamps in sequence. This clamping fixture is also equipped with an air check.

PROJECT

This project is for the same customer as above and quite similar. This clamping fixture is also intended for clamping cast aluminum parts. Several products can be clamped here because it isn't necessary to work through the fixture here. This clamping fixture is also equipped with an air control.

MEASURING FIXTURES

A measuring fixture is a fixture that is used to position and clamp a product. After this, the product is checked using a measuring machine or dial indicators.

Here you see a measuring fixture where a product is accurately clamped using a number of Destaco clamps. Various measuring points can be measured using a dial indicator. The length and profile purity can also be measured.
