MACHINE SETUP
Fixture Set UP
Mount Fixture with the notched pin to the right of the operator, facing towards the tail stock, and closed
pin towards the head stock. Some fixtures will have the locating pins on either the front or the back of
the plate. You must mount the plate on the 2.0” side of the A axis rotating plate. (A axis should be at 0°)
Please note that one side of the 4th axis from center is 2.0” and the other is 2.5”. The 2.5” side will be
used to touch off tools and probe which we will cover later. Four 1/2-13 bolts are to be used to fasten the
head and fixture plate the 4th axis head and tail stock. Align dowel pins with an indicator as indicated by
the red arrows below by tapping fixture plate to align pins with one another to be within .0001 in the Y
axis, then tighten down to secure fixture to the head and tail stock.
If you are running multiple heads that are the same, leave fixture bolted to 4th axis unit and simply
remove machined head, then simply bolt up the next head using the dowel pins for location and your
origin and alignment will be exactly the same.
Each head will have its own specific offset. Notice the “Table of Fixtures” below. Each fixture number has
a unique fixture name (i.e. fixture 1 is the Big Block Chevy fixture offset location). This will be defined as a
fixture offset location.
The offset page can be found by picking the ‘Setup’ tab and under this tab you will see the ‘Table of
Fixtures’ tab.
To choose the table of fixture you want use simply select the fixture number and it will be highlighted, then
click on the ‘Set Active’ button on the right side of the screen. To add a new fixture simply click the ‘Add
New” button, then you can double click on the fixture number to change the name for the fixture.
