Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fiber laser cutting machines, in particular to a clamping mechanism for cast aluminum. Background Technique

[0002] A fiber laser cutting machine is a laser cutting machine that uses a fiber laser generator as a light source. It outputs a laser beam with a high energy density through an internal fiber laser and focuses it on the surface of the workpiece, causing the area of the workpiece irradiated by the ultra-fine focus spot to melt and vaporize instantly. Automatic cutting is achieved by moving the position of the spot irradiation through a numerical control mechanical system. Cast aluminum products are processed by pouring molten aluminum into a mold and cooling to form the workpiece. Due to the use of molds in the processing of cast aluminum products, after the product cools and forms, some scraps will adhere to the outside of the product. During the process of removing the side materials of the product workpiece, a fiber laser cutting machine will be used. When placing the formed product workpiece inside the cutting machine for cutting, a clamping mechanism for cast aluminum is needed to facilitate the fixation of the product.
