High-Performance Quick Change Fixture Disc Series for Precision Machining

As a professional manufacturer of Quick Change Fixture Disc Series, JWGRIP supplies precision-machined fixture plates, double-sided swivel bases and step-down adapters for buyers, sourcing teams and machine shops seeking repeatable setups without rebuilding existing fixtures. All units are in-house produced from hardened alloy steel, helping shorten fixture changeover time and maintain micron-level positioning consistency. JWGRIP also provides Zero Point Positioning System, Robot Quick Change Gripper Serie and R-Type EDM Workholding System, supporting integrated workholding configuration for diverse machining demands.

Working Principle

A quick change fixture disc is a precision locating plate that couples a fixture, tombstone or pallet to a machine table through a standardized coupling pattern. Press the disc onto its matching base, and hardened taper pins plus ground seating faces locate the plate; a drawbar or clamping collar then locks it. The result is a repeatable datum that survives hundreds of exchanges, so operators never re-indicate the fixture and never re-probe the zero point. For small-batch, high-mix production, that is the difference between profitable one-off runs and constant re-setup downtime.

How to Cut Setup Time Across Multiple Machines Without Losing Repeatability?

Standardize the disc pattern across the whole fleet. Mount one quick change fixture plate on each machine, keep a swivel base or an adapter on hand, and the same fixture moves from VMC to HMC to five-axis center in minutes. The 96 to 52 adapter steps down the larger pattern, the double-sided swivel base reorients the workpiece without re-clamping, and every plate pairs with hardened pull studs for a positive lock. Job shops, electrode EDM lines and automated cells typically see setup time fall by 70 to 80 percent while scrap drops, because the datum no longer changes between runs.

Core Advantages

Off-machine pre-setting structure reduces machine idle time, operators finish fixture assembling outside equipment cabins.

Interchangeable 52 and 96 specification discs, adapters and swivel bases realize cross-machine fixture sharing.

Heat-treated alloy steel contact surfaces, anti-wear performance for high-frequency fixture replacement scenarios.

Compatible with Manual Zero Point Pull Studs, seamlessly docking with Quick Change Workholding System overall solution.

Classification Introduction

JWGRIP’s disc-type quick-change product portfolio includes multiple functional modules for different interface conversion and fixture carrying purposes.

Fixture plates represented by 52 Quick Change Fixture Plate for CNC Workholding and 96 Quick Change Fixture Plate for CNC Workholding undertake core fixture-carrying tasks; they can be directly mounted on machine worktables or cooperate with other bases to expand application range. Double Sided Swivel Quick Change Fixture Base supports multi-direction angle adjustment for fixtures, ideal for complex-angle mold and aerospace-part machining. As the transition component, 96 to 52 Quick Change Fixture Base Adapter bridges different disc specification interfaces, helping enterprises reuse existing old fixtures without large-scale renovation. All these modules belong to Quick Change Workholding System ecosystem, and can be combined with Robot Quick Change Gripper Serie to realize higher-level automatic fixture swapping.

Application Scenarios

Quick-change fixture disc modules apply to CNC milling centers, horizontal machining centers, five-axis simultaneous machining equipment, mold workshops, precision parts job-shops and auxiliary tooling for partial EDM processes. It performs well in automotive component processing, injection-mold manufacturing, aerospace precision parts and general mechanical batch-production workshops. Whether you upgrade existing manual workshops or build semi-automatic production cells, disc-based quick-change tooling effectively lifts fixture turnover efficiency.

How to select suitable quick-change disc tooling?

First confirm your machine table size and existing fixture interface dimensions. If you need frequent angle adjustment during processing, prioritize solutions equipped with Double Sided Swivel Quick Change Fixture Base. When you have large stock of old fixtures with mismatched disc sizes, you need corresponding adapter like 96 to 52 Quick Change Fixture Base Adapter for interface transition. Estimate fixture swapping frequency: high-frequency replacement scenarios require fully hardened high-wear-resistance disc components. If you plan to upgrade toward automation later, reserve installation space for Manual Zero Point Pull Studs and robot-related connecting structures. If you feel confused about configuration matching, JWGRIP technical team can give targeted suggestions according to your actual equipment and processing conditions. 

Why choose JWGRIP?

Every quick-change disc, base and adapter goes through multi-step precision machining, heat treatment and flatness, concentricity inspection before delivery. Strict quality control avoids locating deviation caused by poor component manufacturing accuracy. Except standard off-the-shelf disc-series products, we also support non-standard modification for special-size mounting holes. Our pre-sales team sorts out feasible tooling combination schemes based on your on-site production status, and provide technical guidance for installation and commissioning. Our product can coordinate with Zero Point Positioning System or Wire EDM Workholding Fixtures, helping you build a complete unified workholding system across milling and EDM workshops.
