The fixture design, combining a dovetail mount and spring-loaded clamping system, allows for workpieces to be held by the bottom side that has been prepped with a matching dovetail. The RWP-038SS is built for use in milling applications on either a 4-axis or 5-axis CNC machine. 'The RWP-038SS is made specifically for the HAAS TRT-100 but is adaptable to fit on many small rotary tables and lathes with a sub-plate.' 'It has a 0.75-inch wide dovetail and utilizes two stainless steel clamps for holding strength,' said a company spokesperson. In addition to Raptor, Dimac is also the sole distributor of other leading CNC accessory and workholding brands including Kitagawa chucks, the Freddy range of coolant recycling machines, Reven Mist air extractors and Hydrafeed Barfeeders.Raptor Workholding Products has introduced its latest dovetail fixture: RWP-038SS. вЂњUtilising Raptor products provides numerous benefits including saving time and money by becoming more efficient and decreasing production time while increasing the yield of finished goods,вЂќ Mr Fowler added. Multiple Raptors can be mounted to tombstones, bridges, carousels, trunnions, nests and base plates,вЂќ Mr Fowler went on to say. They can fit any machine and any situation with a variety of adapters, risers, and fixtures built to attach directly to the most popular CNC machines. вЂњOne of the key benefits with Raptor workholding products is that they are extremely adaptable.

These versatile pinch blocks can be used in a variety of applications including machining the sixth side of a workpiece or for secondary or final machining operations. The process can be finished off with a dovetailed pinch block. The dovetail fixture can then be utilised with its spring-loaded clamping system providing superior holding strength. The vise can be used in two ways either for holding a workpiece forДovetail preparation or machining a complete part. These can either work independently or together seamlessly.ДЄn example of Raptor products working in unison is starting off with a Raptor self centering vise. These include vises, multi-fixtures, dovetail cutters, adapters, risers and pinch blocks. In addition to the dovetail fixture, Raptor offer an extensive range of strong, flexible workholding products. Smaller fixtures can also be attached to larger ones, allowing the user to switch to any size part as fast as you can turn a hand tool,вЂќ said Dimac Managing Director, Paul Fowler. вЂњWith RaptorвЂ™s dovetail fixture a manufacturer can run a wide variety of parts and eliminate the changeover time. RaptorвЂ™s dovetail design has been tested by an independent laboratory for strength. The spring-loaded clamp can be tightened with a simple T-handle wrench.

The design quickly locks the part in place for extreme clamping strength and rigidity with minimal base material.
