Fox® Multi-Axis Casting Positioner
The Fox® multi-axis positioners consist of a powered rotary work plate with the ability to integrate clamping depending on the casting type/size and the customers’ needs. Quick-change jaws can be integrated to allow for rapid adjustment to hold a large variety of castings with minimal set-up.
These positioners also have a pivoting axis for tilting of the casting for better presentation to the operator. The unit will allow a heavy casting to be quickly clamped onto the table and then easily positioned for various processing operations or inspection. Typically, the unit is used with a swing frame cut-off, a swing frame grinder, and/or small hand tools, but can be used with manipulator finishing systems such as the VTS™ as well.
