[0003] At present, heavy long shaft rod workpieces are a common type of workpiece in the machining of numerically controlled machine tools. In the prior art, due to defects in the structure of the tooling fixture, the following problems exist in the process of machining heavy long shaft rod workpieces: (1) It is easy to cause the workpiece to bend downward. Because when machining heavy long shaft rod workpieces, it is difficult for ordinary fixtures to clamp and fix them. Generally, one end is fixed by a chuck and the other end is in a free state, and the other end is easy to bend downward under the action of gravity; (2) It is necessary to replace the fixture back and forth to adapt to workpieces of different specifications. Because the diameters and other dimensions of various heavy long shaft rod workpieces are different, the existing tooling fixtures cannot be shared and need to be replaced back and forth.
