5th Axis Pyramids for Multi-Part CNC Workholding
5th Axis Pyramids
Quality is built on a precision foundation
Don’t settle for machining fewer parts per cycle. The 5th Axis pyramid fixtures are a great workholding solution that enables you to triple your production on your 5-axis machine. The angled faces allow for optimal tool access to all sides of the workpiece, reducing the setup time and number of operations required.
| Key Features | |
| Boosts Productivity | 3-sided quick change pyramid holds three parts at once for maximized efficiency |
| Maximized Tool Clearance | Designed and optimized for 5-axis universal machines, all faces are accessible with minimal repositioning of the workpiece |
| Modular Compatibility | Suitable for robotic pallet changers and works seamlessly with 5th Axis vises, fixtures, and bases |
| Rigid & Accurate | Machined from solid aluminum or steel for improved stability through one-piece construction |
