5-Axis Pyramid Fixtures for Multi-Sided CNC Machining

ZPP 5-axis pyramid fixtures are designed for CNC machining applications that require access to multiple sides of a workpiece. By arranging multiple workholding stations around a compact fixture structure, pyramid fixtures support multi-sided machining while reducing repeated repositioning.

Different configurations are available for compact parts, multi-part machining, and higher-density production. Combined with zero point workholding, these fixtures support repeatable positioning and fast fixture changes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 5-axis pyramid fixture?+

A 5-axis pyramid fixture is a workholding structure that positions one or multiple workpieces around multiple faces or stations, allowing a 5-axis machining center to reach more sides of the parts within a compact setup.

What is a 5-axis pyramid fixture used for?+

It is used for multi-sided CNC machining, multi-part production, and applications where tool access and fixture density are important considerations.

What is the difference between a 3-station and 4-station pyramid fixture?+

A 3-station fixture provides three machining stations, while a 4-station fixture provides four. More stations can increase parts-per-cycle, while a smaller station count can provide a more compact rotating envelope.

Can a pyramid fixture be used with a zero point system?+

Yes. ZPP pyramid fixtures are designed to work with matching zero point interfaces, allowing the fixture to be located and changed using a standardized reference.

What is the difference between a 5-axis fixture and a pyramid fixture?+

5-axis fixture is a broad category covering different workholding designs for 5-axis machining. A pyramid fixture is one specific multi-face or multi-station fixture architecture within that category.

How do I choose the right pyramid fixture for my CNC machine?+

Start with workpiece size, required number of parts per cycle, zero point pitch, rotary travel and available tool clearance. Then compare TS52, TS96 and circular configurations against your machine envelope.

Are pyramid fixtures suitable for multi-part machining?+

Yes. Multi-station pyramid fixtures can hold multiple workpieces in one setup, making them useful when machining several parts or multiple sides of parts in a single cycle.
