(NVision Inc.: Coppell, TX) -- NVision Inc. and FixLogix LLC have partnered to provide a new easy-to-use and economical modular part-holding system designed especially for noncontact scanning. The FixLogix part-holding system uses a T-slot fixture plate with integrated components to stage the part on the machine. The system offers tremendous savings compared to conventional fixtures, and offers a superior solution to laser scanning applications due to the infinite adjustability of the T-slot system.

“The FixLogix system is the first part-holding system to deliver exactly what is needed for diverse engineering projects,” says Steve Kersen, president of NVision. “We are excited to bundle it with our scanning systems to provide our customers a complete turn-key solution for both reverse engineering and inspection.”

Fixtures made for machining are not appropriate for noncontact measurement. They are designed to withstand the high cutting forces involved in machining so they are typically quite expensive and block much of the part from optical inspection.
