A side thruster for aircraft thin-wall part
processing comprises a guide block, a pressing plate and a clamp plate. The guide block is located above the clamp plate, the pressing plate is arranged above the guide block, the end of the pressing plate is of a zigzag shape, a first bolt passes through a
waist-shaped groove of the pressing plate to be connected with the guide block in threaded manner, a third bolt passes through the
waist-shaped grooves of the pressing plate and the guide block to be connected with the clamp plate in a threaded manner, a second bolt passes through a wedge block and the pressing plate to be connected with the guide block in a threaded manner, a spring
washer is arranged between the first bolt and the waste-shaped groove of the pressing plate, and an angle
gasket is arranged between the third bolt and the waste-shaped groove of the pressing plate. The positioning method includes: mounting an aircraft thin-wall part on the clamp plate, moving the side thruster to allow the zigzag-shaped surface of the end of the pressing plate to be in appearance contact with the aircraft thin-wall part, and respectively fixing the side thrusters on the appearance surface of the thin-wall part. By the side thruster, clamping reliability during numerical-control
processing of the aircraft thin-wall part is improved, clamping deformation due to
extrusion of the aircraft thin-wall part is avoided, risk of unqualified products is reduced, and practicability is good.
