The traditional mechanical processing methods mainly include: turning, milling, planing, grinding, drilling, boring, etc.

Mechanical processing, divided into: cold processing, hot processing, chemical processing, and special processing. There are numerous methods, rigorous processes, high technical content, involving a wide range of disciplines, numerous practitioners, and significant social contributions.

When it comes to mechanical processing, one of the important tools we have to understand is our machine tool fixture, and what role it plays in our mechanical processing.

We will provide a detailed introduction to its functions in several aspects.

1. Ensure machining accuracy

By using fixtures for installation, the mutual position between the workpiece, machine tool, and cutting tool can be accurately determined. The positional accuracy of the workpiece is guaranteed by the fixture and is not affected by the worker's technical level. Its machining accuracy is high and stable.

2. Improve productivity and reduce costs

Using fixtures to clamp workpieces allows for quick positioning and clamping without the need for alignment, significantly increasing auxiliary labor hours; Using fixtures to clamp workpieces improves their rigidity, thus increasing the amount of cutting required; Multiple piece and multi station fixtures can be used to clamp workpieces, and efficient clamping mechanisms can be adopted, all of which are beneficial for improving rest consumption rates. In addition, after adopting fixtures, the production quality fluctuates and the scrap rate decreases. Workers with lower technical levels can be arranged, which clearly reduces the cost of consumption.

3. Expand the process scope of machine tools

The use of common fixtures can modify the original machine tool's purpose and expand its application range, achieving multi functionality for one machine. For example, after installing a boring fixture on a lathe or rocker drilling machine, the boring process of the box hole system can be stopped; Through the use of common fixtures, lathes can also be converted into lathe machines to fully utilize the functions of general-purpose machine tools.

4. Reduce the labor intensity of workers

Using fixtures to clamp workpieces is convenient and fast. When pneumatic, hydraulic, and other clamping devices are used, it can reduce the labor intensity of workers
