The fixture plate is a re-useable, semi-sacrificial layer that sits between your AirWeights table and your workpiece. The plate itself is easily customized for your specific part(s) and provides a fast setup and an efficient, repeatable way to make multiple runs of the same part. You can use ouradhesive gasketto quickly and easily create a custom gasket zone for your specific part.
Using a fixture plate also allows you to cut all the way through your material. When a part is mounted directly to the AirWeights table, you can't cut through, and instead leave a thin 'onion skin' on the bottom, which must be removed later. When you add a fixture plate and the appropriate gasket material, you can cut through the part, meaning there is one less step to getting a finished part.
Fixture Plates are easy to change out, meaning you can go from one part shape to a completely different part in just seconds. The fixture plate is located with a set of pins, so it installs into the same spot every time, meaning it remains consistent with your machine and AirWeights Vacuum Table. You can use one fixture plate over and over, so once it's set up, it continues to pay for itself in time-savings.
