Adjustable part-manufacturing tool and associated systems and methods

A system for inspecting a part, the system comprising:

• a base plate;
• and
• a plurality of adjustable part-manufacturing tools configured to be removably attachable to the base plate, each one of the plurality of adjustable part-manufacturing tools comprising:
• a tool body comprising a part-receiving receptacle defined by a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is angled relative to the second side and the tool body further comprises a first channel, extending into the tool body from the first side, and a second channel, extending into the tool body from the second side;
• a first locating detail comprising a first locating surface and movably coupled to the tool body along the first side so that the first locating surface is selectively movable within the part-receiving receptacle in first opposing directions, wherein the first locating detail moves within the first channel when the first locating surface moves within the part-receiving receptacle in the first opposing directions;
• a second locating detail comprising a second locating surface and movably coupled to the tool body along the second side so that the second locating surface is selectively movable within the part-receiving receptacle in second opposing directions that are angled relative to the first opposing directions, wherein the second locating detail moves within the second channel when the second locating surface moves within the part-receiving receptacle in the second opposing directions;
• a first cam within the first channel and pivotably coupled with the first locating detail so that when the first cam pivots within the first channel the first locating detail moves in one of the first opposing directions within the first channel;
• a second cam within the second channel and pivotably coupled with the second locating detail so that when the second cam pivots within the second channel the second locating detail moves in one of the second opposing directions within the second channel;
• and
• an attachment bracket comprising a body-attachment portion, attached to the tool body, and a base-attachment portion, configured to be removably attachable to the base plate;
• wherein selective movement of the first locating surface and the second locating surface accommodates locating parts of different sizes on the first locating surface and the second locating surface within a specified tolerance.
