Tooling Blocks simultaneously provide multiple faces to hold components accurately in vertical plane for machining on Horizontal machining centres. Upon indexing of table a new face with new components is obtained for machining resulting into significant reduction of downtime by elimination of multiple set ups. Pallet mounting tooling blocks also enable simultaneous loading and unloading of multiple fixture plates thereby reducing total set up time. Tooling Blocks can also be used for vertical clamping of components on Horizontal Boring Machines, Milling Machines, Horizontal Jig Mills etc.
