[0026] 1) scribing alignment, use special tool to make the surface of workpiece to be machined be in proper position relative to reference.

[0027] 2) three principles of scribing sequence of machining. The first principle is to determine small face with large face. Since the product is aligned with large face, other smaller parallel faces, perpendicular faces or inclined faces will be in their respective positions. Otherwise, if small face is determined with large face, the large face may exceed the allowable error range. Therefore, the sequence of scribing can only be to scribe the largest face first, then the larger faces, and finally the smallest face. The second principle is to determine simple face with complex face. The complex face has more shape and position requirements. After aligning with complex face, the simple face is positioned with the position of complex face, which is less difficult. The third principle is that when the product has an inclined face, the scribing sequence should be determined according to the size of the inclined face. If the inclined face is larger than other faces, it should be scribed first. If the inclined face is equivalent or smaller than other faces, it should be scribed last.

[0033] The clamp 10 and the adapter block 7 in the positioning clamping mechanism component are connected by a pin shaft, and the clamp is a circular ring structure with an inner circle cross section, which can better fit the outer circular surface of the annular duct.

[0034] The knurled flat head screw 8 and the stop block 9 in the positioning clamping mechanism component are fixed relative to each other and can be freely screwed in and out, which functions to quickly position the clamp 10 to clamp the annular duct.

[0035] The line marking slider 3 functions to extend the marking line on the base 2 to the outer surface of the annular duct, and at the same time, it performs secondary positioning on the annular duct to prevent local buckling of the annular duct and improve the line marking precision.
