Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of machining and relates to a positioning device for CNC machine tools. Background Technology
[0002] When machining existing parts with cylindrical holes, conical holes, or internal circular grooves, special positioning fixtures are required to position them on the machining center or lathe.
[0003] Parts with cylindrical holes require cylindrical pins that fit with the holes with a micro-clearance for positioning. Parts with different diameter cylindrical holes require pins of varying diameters to match, leading to high manufacturing and management costs. Parts with conical holes or internal circular grooves, due to their structural limitations, generally do not use conical holes or circular grooves as positioning holes. Instead, a separate cylindrical positioning hole needs to be fabricated on the part itself or on an external process table. After the part is machined, the process table is removed. This requires additional raw material input and the use of pins of different specifications, resulting in significant additional material, tooling, and management costs for production.
