Fixture having integrated datum locators

摘要

A fixture (10) adapted to precisely position two components to permit multiple machining operations of the components at a single work station. The fixture (10) includes a backbone (12) having a first portion (14) for securing the first component and a second portion (16) for securing the second component. First and second portions each further include an integral lobe (22) and a finger (18) which extend outwardly from the backbone (12), each terminating in a datum surface, as well as an additional datum surface which collectively form a set of datum locators along both the first and second portions. Each set of datum locators precisely positions the two components at a predetermined distance and orientation from each other.
