Customer's Voice ONE-TOUCH FASTENERS

Quick change fastener shortened setup time drastically !

Customer : Toyokawa System Engineering Lid. >> Manufacturer of equipments and fixtures for the automobile industry.

Industry : Automobile industry

Product : QUARTER TURN CLAMPS

Application : Dedicated machines and fixtures for assembling automotive parts.

Toyokawa Engineering manufactures testing equipment for automotive parts and they use IMAO's Quarter Turn Clamps on the fixtures in their equipment.

They designed the fixture to be able to hold several workpieces at a time to fit the user's needs. Setups for changing fixture parts come out every changeover depending on workpieces.

The user required Toyokawa the swift changeovers of fixtures they do over 2 times a day. That's why Toyokawa decided to use IMAO's Quarter Turn Clamps that shorten the setup time by clamping with just a 90 degrees turn of the knob.

In the previous testing equipment, the user fixed the parts with screws and knobs and it took more than 1 minute for changeover. With Quarter Turn Clamps, changeover of fixture takes only 30 seconds.

Toyokawa highly esteems the quick & easy operation of IMAO's tool-less clamps, wide variation of line ups and their ready availability of IMAO's standard products as a manufacturer of standard machine elements. Toyokawa will keep using Quarter Turn Clamps for their equipment in the future.
