Introduction
Tooling, ie, process equipment: refers to the general name of the various tools used in the manufacturing process. Including tools/fixtures/molds/gauges/seizures/assist/fitter tools/station tools, etc. Tooling is its general abbreviation. Tooling is divided into Dedicated tooling/general tooling/standard tooling (similar to standard parts)
Fixture, as the name suggests, means for clamping a workpiece (or guiding tool)
Mold, a device for defining the shape and size of a production object
Tools, tools used in mechanical manufacturing are basically used for cutting metal materials, so the term "tool" is generally understood as a metal cutting tool.
Auxiliary tools generally refer to tools used to connect tools and machine tools
Fitter tool, various tools used in the clamp industry
Station apparatus, various devices for storing production objects or tools in a work place or warehouse
Inspection equipment, instruments used in production inspection
Fixtures, manufacturing tools, the term fixture, sometimes agreed with tooling, and sometimes refer to fixtures
This term is commonly used by electronic companies in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and Japan.
Fixtures belong to tooling, fixtures contain fixtures and belong to the affiliation.
application
Fixtures are process devices that are used to rapidly fasten workpieces during machining to maintain the correct relative position of the machine tools, tools, and workpieces. In other words, Workholding fixture is an indispensable component for machining. Under the drive of high-speed, high-efficiency, precision, compound, intelligent and environmental protection, the fixture technology is moving towards high precision, high efficiency, modularity, combination, and general use. And economic direction.
Fixtures are also called fixtures. In a broad sense, any device used to quickly, conveniently, and safely install a workpiece during any process in the process can be referred to as a fixture. Such as welding fixtures, inspection fixtures, assembly fixtures, machine tool fixtures, etc. One of the most common machine tool fixtures, often referred to as fixtures.
When processing a workpiece on a machine tool, in order to make the surface energy of the workpiece meet the technical requirements such as the size, geometry and mutual position accuracy of other surfaces, the workpiece must be mounted (positioned) and clamped (clamped) before machining. .
The use of machine tool fixtures helps ensure the accuracy of the workpieces and stabilizes the quality of the products. It is conducive to improving labor productivity and reducing costs. It is beneficial to improving the working conditions of workers and ensuring safe production. It is conducive to expanding the range of machine tools and realizing "one machine with multiple uses."
The fixture usually consists of a positioning element (determining the correct position of the workpiece in the fixture), a clamping device, a tool guiding element (determining the relative position of the tool to the workpiece or the direction of the guiding tool), and an indexing device (allowing the workpiece to be mounted in one installation. The processing of several stations is completed, and there are two types of rotary indexing devices and linear motion indexing devices, connecting elements, and clamps (fixture bases).
The use of fixtures in electronics manufacturers is also very high. In production, in order to increase production efficiency and product quality, fixtures are often used for functional testing or auxiliary assembly in the middle and back stages of production. (Fixed shapes and heights can be assembled) . Judging from the fact that Fickson and the majority of electronics manufacturers deal with the situation, there are many fixtures that are used in the testing of a signal switching and electrical old chemical industry. The actual use in the electronics manufacturing factory is very wide, because it is non-standard customization, so only unexpected and not impossible.
