First, the basic principles of fixture design:

1, to meet the stability and reliability of the workpiece positioning in the process of use;

2, there is enough load or clamping force to ensure that the workpiece in the tooling and fixture processing process;

3, satisfy the simple and fast operation in the clamping process;

4. Damable parts must be the structure that can be quickly replaced. When conditions are sufficient, it is best not to use other tools.

5, to meet the fixture in the adjustment or replacement process of repeated positioning reliability;

6. Avoid complex structure and high cost as far as possible;

7, as far as possible to choose standard parts as components;

8. Formed the systematization and standardization of the company's internal products.

Second, the basic knowledge of fixture design

A good machine fixture must meet the following basic requirements:

1, ensure the processing accuracy of the workpiece to ensure the processing accuracy of the key, first is to correctly select the positioning datum, positioning method and positioning components, if necessary, also need to carry out positioning error analysis, but also pay attention to the structure of other parts of the fixture on the processing accuracy, to ensure that the fixture can meet the requirements of the workpiece processing accuracy.

2, improve the production efficiency of the special fixture complexity should be adapted to the capacity situation, should try to use a variety of fast and efficient clamping mechanism, to ensure easy operation, shorten the auxiliary time, improve production efficiency.

3, process performance good special fixture structure should be simple, reasonable, easy to manufacture, assembly, adjustment, inspection, maintenance and so on.

4, the use of good performance of the fixture should have enough strength and stiffness, the operation should be simple, labor-saving, safe and reliable. In the objective conditions and the premise of economic applicability, pneumatic, hydraulic and other mechanized clamping devices should be used as far as possible to reduce the labor intensity of the operator. Fixtures and fixtures should also be convenient for chip removal. When necessary, the chip discharge structure can be set to prevent the chip from destroying the positioning of the workpiece and damaging the cutter, and prevent the accumulation of chips from bringing a lot of heat and causing the deformation of the process system.

5, good economy special fixture should use standard components and standard structure as far as possible, and strive to simple structure, easy manufacturing, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of fixture. Therefore, the design should be based on the order and capacity of the necessary technical and economic analysis of the fixture scheme, in order to improve the fixture in the production of economic benefits.

III. Overview of standardization of tooling and fixture design

1. The basic methods and steps of tooling and fixture design

The original data of the design of the fixture and fixture include the following contents:

A) Design notice, drawings of finished parts, rough drawings and process routes and other technical data, to understand the processing technical requirements of each process, positioning and clamping scheme, processing content of the previous process, rough conditions, machine tools, cutting tools, inspection gauges used in processing, processing allowance and cutting amount, etc.;

B) Understand the production batch and fixture requirements;

C) Understand the main technical parameters, performance, specifications, precision of the machine tool used and the connection size of the structure of the part connected with the fixture;

D) Standard material inventory of fixture.

2, fixture design consideration

Fixture design general structure is single, give a person the feeling that the structure is not very complex, especially now the popular hydraulic fixture, so that its original mechanical structure is greatly simplified, but if the design process is not considered in detail, there will be unnecessary trouble:

A) The blank allowance of the workpiece to be processed. The blank size is too large, resulting in interference. So before the design must be prepared to rough drawings. Leave plenty of space.

B) Chip removal fluency of the fixture. Due to the limitation of the processing space of the machine tool, the space of the fixture is often designed to be compact. At this time, it is often ignored that the iron chips produced in the processing process are stored at the dead corner of the fixture, including the flow of chip fluid is not smooth, which brings a lot of trouble to the future processing. So at the beginning of the actual processing should be considered in the process of the problem, after all, the fixture is to improve efficiency, convenient operation for this.

C) The overall openness of the fixture. Ignoring the open, causing the operator to install the card difficult, time-consuming and laborious, design taboo.

D) Basic theoretical principles of fixture design. Each fixture has to experience numerous times of clamping and loosening action, so it may be able to meet the user's requirements at the beginning, but the fixture should have its accuracy retention, so do not design something against the principle of things. Even if luck can now, also won't have long lasting. A good design should be tempered with time.

E) Replacement of positioning elements. Positioning components wear seriously, so should consider quick and convenient replacement. It is best not to design large parts.

The accumulation of fixture design experience is very important, sometimes the design is one thing, in the practical application is the same thing, so good design is a process of continuous accumulation and summary.

The commonly used tooling and fixtures are mainly divided into the following categories according to their functionality:

01 die

02 drilling and milling surface tooling

03 CNC, instrument chuck

04 gas test and water test tooling

Edge trimming and punching tooling
