- The most significant cost factor in welding is fit-up. 85% of the welding process is spent arranging and aligning the weldment. Precise and flexible fixtures can dramatically improve production.
- Modular fixturing is ideal for small run production of 2-2000 pieces, job shops (whose work changes from job to job), and prototype work.
- Modular fixtures eliminate the time and money spent designing, building, and storing dedicated fixtures.
- Dedicated fixtures are rigidly designed and often poorly tooled. Modular fixtures are flexible and versatile. Förster tooling offers a comprehensive solution for workholding and precise positioning in a welding fixture.
- Förster's unique welding tables incorporate removable ribs with t-slots. Both of which provide distinct advantages that are not available with any competing product!
- Removable ribs:
1.) Allow the table to be easily expanded with the optional support foot.
2.) Can be removed to allow a weldment to extend down through a section of the table.
3.) Repairing damage to the table surface is as easy - and inexpensive - as replacing an individual rib! All competing products are made with one solid piece of cast that would need to be reground or machined. - T-Slots:
A perfect design that allows each modular tool and stop to achieve precise positioning across the entire table surface.
