CNC Triple Clamp, also known as CNC workpiece fixtures, are an integral part of CNC machining. This tool plays a vital role on CNC machine tools, effectively fixing, supporting and mounting workpieces to ensure consistency and interchangeability in the manufacturing process. Unlike traditional fixtures, CNC fixtures do not guide the movement of the tool, but focus on fixing the workpiece during the manufacturing process, providing the necessary support and stability. In addition, since the tool moves with the movement of the workpiece, when using CNC fixtures, the tool always remains stationary, which further simplifies the manufacturing process and improves work efficiency.
CNC Triple Clamp have a wide range of applications in the CNC machining and manufacturing industry, and their functions are closely related to the type of CNC operations used in the manufacturing process. It is widely used in many fields such as CNC milling, CNC turning, CNC planning, CNC slotting and CNC grinding. Next, we will explore the different types of CNC fixtures in depth.
The design of CNC Triple Clamp mainly revolves around its two major functions: positioning and clamping. The positioning function ensures that the workpiece is properly fixed on the machine tool to meet the requirements of the machine surface; while the clamping function applies force to the workpiece after positioning to ensure that the workpiece can be firmly clamped during the manufacturing process. These two functions together constitute the core role of CNC fixtures.
For example, in the automotive industry, CNC fixtures play a vital role. They not only protect the vehicle from damage during welding and assembly, but also guide the vehicle to complete the production process smoothly.
Although many people are familiar with CNC fixtures, they may not know their classification. In fact, there are many types of CNC fixtures, each with its unique applications and advantages. Based on CNC machining operations, CNC Triple Clamp can be divided into five types. They are turning fixtures, milling fixtures, drilling fixtures, boring fixtures, and grinding fixtures. These fixture types are closely related to their respective CNC machining operations and provide necessary support for the process flow.
In addition, CNC Triple Clamp can also be classified according to their uses. Among them, general fixtures are suitable for various workpieces and have the characteristics of easy adjustment and wide applicability. Special fixtures are designed for specific workpieces, providing excellent stability and convenient operation experience. Assembly fixtures are customized according to the needs of the workpiece and are flexible. Modular fixtures, with their modular design, make the assembly and disassembly of the fixtures easier and more efficient.
Modular fixtures are known for their flexibility and can be easily rebuilt and reconfigured to accommodate a variety of workpieces. This type of fixture is composed of many interchangeable parts, which not only facilitates the handling of a variety of workpieces, but also can be easily disassembled after the process is completed. Its design concept has led to a more efficient and flexible manufacturing process, significantly improving production efficiency.
Combination fixtures are also a common choice. These fixtures come in a variety of sizes and shapes, which can flexibly cope with the various workpieces handled by the machine tool.
