Adaptive Machining

PS-Fixture is a new product that builds on Delcam's 25 years of experience of supplying machining and manufacturing solutions to a wide range of industries producing complex parts from 3D CAD models.

PS-Fixture has harnessed this expertise to produce a unique software fixturing system reducing part setup time and operator involvement.



PS-Fixture saves time and money

PS-Fixture is a software fixturing system that reduces setup times by orders of magnitude for complex 3D parts. Instead of the operator taking many hours to precisely locate the part, PS-Fixture can automatically realign NC toolpaths in real-time within the software after simple rough fixturing taking minutes.

For multi-process machining operations the overall time saving can be measured in days, whilst totally eliminating the risk of humans errors from the process.


PS-Fixture for the shopfloor or production

PS-Fixture does not require the CAD model to operate, it works with previously generated probe paths, (from offline CMM software or direct from NC probing cycles). A CAD model can be used for an illustration of the process progress, both on screen and in the results output.

PS-Fixture is totally customizable, the HTML-based interface can be completely tailored to the manufacturing process and experience of the operators.

PS-Fixture can even work as a black box, an unseen part of the manufacturing process, or as a STOP/GO style interface for basic interaction with a minimal training requirement.


PS-Fixture is the total solution

PS-Fixture can be scripted to call any object based software package creating a complete solution to your process automation needs.

The scripting and HTML user interface can be used to wrap large interacting software requirements to provide straightforward solutions to complex manufacturing problems.
