Manufacturing needs to pay attention to material selection, production technology and quality inspection. While, the design of machining tool fixture should consider accuracy, versatility, flexibility, intelligence and automation. Machining tool fixture is an indispensable part of modern machinery manufacturing industry, which is directly related to overall development level of manufacturing industry as well.
The design of machine tool fixture is the key link to ensure the machining accuracy and improve production efficiency. The following aspects are what we need to consider during fixture in design:
- ACCURACY REQUIREMENT
During machining process, even a small displacement may lead to dimension deviations of the work-piece. Through the professional designed and machined fixture, the work-piece can be firmly in the correct position, make sure each machining process is carried out on the accuracy machining basis, so as to ensure machining accuracy, and meet the high quality requirement of products.
- ENHANCE PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
The use of fixtures can greatly shorten the time of work-piece clamping and reduce the idle time of the machine tool, especially in mass production, the time saved by frequent clamping operation is considerable. In addition, the appropriate fixture is the basis of automated production, they can be combined with automated production lines or machining centers to achieve the automatic transmission, positioning and clamping of the work-piece, so that the whole processing process is continuous and efficient .
- OPERATIONAL SAFTY
In high-risk operations such as high-speed cutting and grinding, the fixture can effectively fix the workpiece, prevent the workpiece from flying out due to loosening during processing, and avoid injury to the operator . At the same time, the reasonably designed fixture can also make the operator safer during the clamping process and reduce the safety accidents caused by improper operation .
In short, as an indispensable part of the modern machinery manufacturing industry, its design, manufacturing and market conditions have an important impact on the overall development level of the manufacturing industry. In the future, with the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the advancement of intelligent manufacturing, the machine tool and fixture industry will usher in a broader space for development.
