These are 2 drilling fixtures designed to drill multiple parts prior to welding. These are just simply to show persons who have to produce multiple parts for production, an easy system to setup and produce repetitive consistency. This type of fixturing can be applied to many different operations for a shop that produces items in bulk, or supplies a manufacturer sub-components for a product. Each part has a steel template that is pre-measured and holes drilled as per component dimensional drawing. These 2 fixtures were designed to produce pre-drilled aluminum plates that were welded in another welding fixture to complete the unit used as a 4 camera mounting assembly for industrial robots.

The photos show the alum. plate on the left, the fixture, the steel template and bottom "gate" that is toggle-clamped after loading the fixture with 4 alum blanks. and template on top. The unit is then clamped to a rotary table on the drill press for drilling. The square plates are the top & bottom plates and the rectangular plates are the mount bases for the camera units. These are just ideas that someone may find useful to modify or adapt to their needs....Denny

I like how you clipped the corners of the horizontal legs of the angles to allow for a place to place a weld in your fixture.

Hi John,
Thanks....all my fixtures are made from scrap they let me have from work. The residual metal I give to the scrap guy at work is really junk. The owner lets me have anything that is unusable for our products. Nice fringe benefit :>)))   Denny
