Multi-part hydraulic clamping fixture designed to hold two different style parts. Piece part arrangement and packaging was the key consideration with this fixture. Part locating, clamping, and tool accessibility evolved during the design phase as the production requirement and number of each piece parts to be machined on the fixture grew.

L.H. / R.H. control arm fixture uniquely designed to "hydraulically tilt" for one load complete piece part manufacturing process. The piece parts enter the machining cube in the upright position. After the first machining step is complete, the fixture automatically tilts to properly orientate for the second set of machining operations. The fixture incorporates a combination of part rests and v-blocks to capture and nest the piece part's unconventional cast datum scheme along with meeting the requirement for piece part and "tilt position" air detection.
