Kwikset Jig

The Kwikset Jig is a rapid setup jig with Flo-thru stations. It is suitable for mid size truss plants looking to increase production, without large capital expenditure.

The Kwikset Jig has been developed to accommodate standard and complex truss shapes in both short and long production runs. With simple and fast setup, production is increased significantly.

Advantages

Automated jigging system for use in most gantry style table press systems.
Substantial reduction in set up times.
Proven quick change tooling with universal apex tool.
Self releasing top chord clamps.
Slip out axis module for easy maintenance.

Features - Table & Jig

Up to 20% increase in production over a standard pedestal type jig.
Compatible with many different press head types and
therefore can be readily integrated into an existing factory.
Pneumatic clamping of moving arm position.
Simple switch operation of pneumatic clamps.
Neat -air lines contained within the framework of the jig.
Moving arms always remain square to bottom chord rail. Wheels on each end roll on parallel rails.
Simple - minimal operator training required for quick set-ups.
Measuring tapes used for positioning stations on base and apex rails.
Low maintenance – routine inspection and cleaning only.
Strong & robust - will last for a long period of time in a normal day to day truss plant environment.
Suits large truss sizes - up to 3.9m metres apex height.
Low rail height – for ease of operation and movement around jig.

Flo-thru stations

Flo-thru station design allows a C-Frame press to move along truss chords without the need to move the press head in and out of stations, significantly increasing productivity and reducing operator fatigue.
Light weight construction with rollers for easy station movement.
Pneumatic clamping of flo-thru station position on rails.
All Flo-thru stations on bottom chord rail are universal, with heel blocks and camber bars that can be moved between stations.

Truss information:

Capable of setting up most trusses, including scissor trusses.
New tables for low profile.
Truss span and apex height:
- Spans on the Kwikset jig can be up to 18m, with up to 3.9m apex height.
