The document outlines a conceptual design for four Straightening Press Fixtures intended for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, under the auspices of the Department of the Navy. Each fixture comprises a Travelling Anvil for round stock and a Rectangular Stock Fixture, both engineered to withstand a downforce of 50 tons on the smallest workpiece. The Travelling Anvil features replaceable inserts made of bearing bronze, wheels for mobility, and alignment keys for precision fitting onto the press table. Additionally, the Rectangular Stock Fixture is designed to hold rectangular items securely using clamping jaws that operate via a hand-driven screw mechanism. The documentation includes essential design tolerances, component specifications, and crucial details for manufacturing and assembly to ensure operational effectiveness and safety during straightening operations. This initiative presumably aligns with government contracting standards, aiming to enhance the Navy's production capabilities while adhering to precise engineering requirements.
The document outlines a solicitation (SPMYM225Q0755) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Puget Sound for the procurement of "Straight Press Fixtures," manufactured by Greenerd Press and Machine Company.
