Part holding structure

Flexible Part Holding

The flexible part holding structure designed for the E7000 squeeze riveter gives us the ability to fixture 20 different parts in one set of headers. This is made possible by a set of indexing boards that are capable of sliding to many different positions and adapting to support an array of curvatures. Parts are held in place by a primary, a secondary, and two intermediate indexing boards.
