Our client was awarded a production machining contract to turn a close tolerance shoulder on a small titanium elbow. They were having issues holding the part securely and repeatedly during machining. We designed and fabricated full hard custom jaws to fit on an existing tooling.
The part being very small and with little grip area posed a unique work holding problem that was further complicated by the parts material titanium 6-Al-4V which requires its own special machining processed for high production quantities.
