Introduction to the classification of clamp

The clamp is used to fix the machining object in the machine manufacturing process, which makes it occupy the correct position. In a broad sense, any process in the process, used to quickly, easily and safely install the workpiece device, can be called the clamp. For example, welding clamp, test clamp, assembly clamp, machine tools, fixtures, etc.. In which the most common machine tool fixture, often referred to as the clamp.

In machining a workpiece on a machine tool, in order to make the surface of the workpiece to meet the requirements of drawings specified dimensions, geometry and surface with the other mutual position precision technology and processing to the workpiece is installed and clipped. Clamp is usually by the positioning device, clamping device, tool guiding element, dividing device, a connecting element and clamp specific composition.

Clamp type according to the use of features can be divided into:

Universal universal fixture. Such as machine with vice, chuck, chuck, dividing head and rotary and Taiwan etc., there are great versatility, can better adapt to the machining process and machining object transform, its structure has been finalized, dimensions, specifications have been serialized, most of them has become the machine of a standard accessories.

Special fixture. For a certain product parts in a process of the need to design and manufacture of specialized equipment, the service object is specific, targeted is very strong, generally by the product manufacturer to design. Commonly used a fixture for lathe, milling fixture, jig guide tool for drilling and reaming holes, boring mode and the accompanying clamp for modular machine tool automatic line mobile jigs and clamp.

Adjustable clamp. Special fixture for replacing or adjusting element.

Combination clamp. Composed of different shapes and specifications and the use of standardized components of the fixture is in trial production of new products and product often replace the single and small batch production and temporary task.

Except such as vice, chuck, dividing head and rotary and Taiwan and a more general call handle, generally speaking, tool and fixture the word at the same time, most of the fixture refers to the is handle.

Lathe clamp

A clamp used to process the internal and external rotation face and the end face of the workpiece is called a lathe clamp. Most lathe fixture mounted on the spindle, a saddle is arranged on the bed or bed.

Three coordinate clamp

On the measuring machine, the flexible fixing of the workpiece is completed by using the modular support and reference device. The device can be automatically programmed to achieve the support of the workpiece, and the establishment of a reference point for infinite workpiece configuration. Advanced special software, can directly through the geometric data of the workpiece, in a few seconds to produce the workpiece clamping program.

Industrial robot clamp

Are installed in the industrial robot, used in industrial automation equipment, is one of the new technology of modern industrial automation equipment. Main and robot with the form in modern industrial production, common usage is machine tool material, workpiece palletizing, welding, grinding and other automated unmanned factory.

Milling clamp

The work table is installed on the milling machine working table, and the random bed table is used as the feed movement. The main positioning device, clamping device, clamp, connecting components, tool components. Milling, cutting force is larger, but also interrupted cutting, vibration is larger, so the clamping force of milling machine clamp, the clamp stiffness, strength requirements are relatively high.
