CNC fixtures are widely used in any manufacturing industry that employs CNC machining. Its functionality is integrated with the types of CNC operations used in the manufacturing process.
It is used for CNC milling, CNC turning, CNC planning, CNC slotting, and CNC grinding. This will also lead to the types of CNC fixtures that we will reveal below.
Generally speaking, CNC fixture design is responsible for its application:
location
The CNC workpiece fixture ensures that the workpiece is correctly fixed on the machine relative to the machine tool. This is also to ensure that the machine surface meets the requirements.
clamp
After positioning, the CNC fixture will apply force to the workpiece to firmly clamp it in any manufacturing process.
CNC workpiece fixtures utilize these two characteristics in their functionality. For example, positioning and clamping play a major production role in the automotive industry. There, they protect and guide vehicles to complete the welding and assembly process.
