Modular clamping fixture for automated production lines

Abstract

The invention provides a modular clamping fixture for automated production lines. The modular clamping fixture comprises a base, a positioning pallet and a clamping fixture main body part thereon; thebase part is fixed on a pedestal of an automation processing device of each process; the pallet can be easily inserted into the base and drives a base ball lock mechanism through air and fastens thebase ball lock mechanism on the base; When a workpiece is clamped, the component is grasped by a manipulator and placed on jaws. The action of clamping and releasing by the jaws is achieved by controlling a drive cylinder module coupled with the jaws. The motions of the base ball lock mechanism and the clamping jaw cylinder can be controlled can be programmed to control a solenoid valve module tochange the opening and closing of the air circuit to drive the relevant actions. This kind of clamping fixture is simple in structure, low in price, convenient and flexible in use, high in positioningaccuracy, and can be used to clamp a variety of parts, and can solve the problems of multiple clamping and positioning in the process of processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a modular fixture used in an automated production line, in particular to a modular fixture used in an automated production line. Background technique [0002] In machining factories, many complex tasks still need to be done by workers. However, rising labor costs and a growing shortage of skilled workers are making things harder for these factories. Therefore, building a fully automated production line will become an inevitable trend in the manufacturing industry. When observing the automation of the machining manufacturing industry, it is found that on the one hand, many independent automated processing units are developing at a high speed, such as CNC machining centers. On the other hand, some auxiliary processing tasks have not received corresponding attention for a long time, such as grasping and placing, clamping and positioning of machined parts. The operation automation of these auxiliary processing has become a short...
