What is Swift-fix?

A wide range of accessories is available to suit every type of component holding. The basis of the system is the Stand-off which screws into the base plate and is available in a variety of diameters and lengths. These also connect to each other so that exact heights can be reached.

Swift-fix has been developed by Hexagon Metrology, a world leading CMM manufacturer, who recognise the need for a fixturing system that allows maximum access to the part to be measured.

The Kinematic System

Swift-fix can be supplied with a Kinematic base plate. This plate is secured permanently in the measuring volume allowing easy changing of component fixtures.
Kinematic top plates are available with M8 Tapped holes and also as a plain plate for you to create your own dedicated fixture.

Fixturing thats flexible...

By virtue of the complexity of many of today’s manufactured components, the held part needs to be uncluttered and the holding & clamping has to be discreet, to allow the measurement probe room to obtain the maximum accessibility.

Flexibility is another major requirement, particularly where component size varies. Another unique feature of Swift-Fix is that it is a modular system which allows base plates to be linked together to suit larger components and ensure the hole pitch between plates is maintained.

Base plates are available in the following standard sizes

300 x 300mm, 400 x 400mm, 500 x 500mm & 600 x 600mm

Non standard sizes can be supplied to customers requirements

PC-DMIS Quick-fix

Quick-fixture is an exciting new development for users of PC-DMIS, the software offered on all new machines and upgrades from STATUS Metrology. A new option built into the software allows the user to build a fixture around the CAD model of the part inside the PC-DMIS 3D environment.
