CNC machining: the role of fixtures and production benefits
Today's tooling fixtures are more and more widely used in the hardware processing industry and CNC processing industry. Especially in electronics factories in Shenzhen, Foshan and other regions.
General tooling clamps are classified into pressing, bending, cutting, riveting, welding, testing, fixing, etc. Of course, they can also be divided into ordinary and There are two special categories, depending on personal preferences or other professional secretaries to sort out the regulations. Basically, in addition to electrical measurement and welding, most factories have their own design departments or simply make them themselves. So what role can such a tooling fixture play? What kind of production benefits can it bring to customers? Let's take a look together.
In order to ensure product quality and productivity in the production process, tooling fixtures are used. Its main functions include the following aspects:
1. Guarantee and improve product quality (the workpiece can be better placed in the accurate position);
2. Improve labor efficiency (reduce the time for manually placing the workpiece);
3. Expand the tool's Operating range (fixed position, easy for personnel to operate);
4. Improve labor conditions and reduce product costs.
Tooling fixtures have been widely used in Europe, America, Japan and other countries, and China has also been very popular in recent years, especially in Shenzhen. The benefits are also obvious, mainly because of the following operations:
1. Speed---reduce the preset time. During the EDM/CNC/EDW process, the clamping time is about 10 seconds. Only need to find once, and then other workpieces do not need to be marked again, the number of touches and points;
2. Accuracy---static tolerance repeatability +/-0.002;
3. Reduce machine tool investment: Due to the reduction of pre-setting time, the number of machines invested by customers is also relatively reduced, and it does not affect the planned production efficiency and reduces investment costs;
4. Reduce personnel Investment: Human resources are more reasonably allocated when the pre-setting time is reduced;
5. Reduce human errors, adopt the concept of automation and standardization for positioning precision fixtures, reduce human errors, and effectively improve productivity and product quality;
6. Increase the utilization rate of the machine tool: when the CNC machining is completed, it can be disassembled, and there is no need to clamp on the machine tool, and other workpieces can be continued to be processed. Effectively improve the utilization rate of machine tools;
7. Convenient and safe maintenance: when the mold needs to be repaired or reworked, it can be processed by re-clamping, and the copper male seat has directionality, which will not lead to wrong direction;< /p>
8. Intangible benefits: When using the positioning fixture, the customer's confidence is greatly increased when visiting the factory, and the marketing department has a stronger competitiveness in receiving orders.
The above is the function and production efficiency of the tooling fixture, which is for reference only. Technology is specialized in processing precision parts, and can process CNC precision parts such as drawing and processing.
