Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser cutting, in particular to a fixture for laser cutting. Background Technique

[0002] With the rapid development of the aerospace industry, the requirements for curved parts and hole positions on parts have been further improved. When cutting the outer shape and holes of multi-curved parts, the five-axis laser cutting technology has been more and more widely used in the aerospace field with small cutting errors and high cutting precision. The five-axis laser cutting technology can not only be widely used in the cutting of metal flat materials, but also in the cutting of materials such as complex curves, special-shaped plates, and pipes.

[0003] First of all, when using five-axis laser cutting, it is necessary to position the parts through corresponding fixtures. However, in the process of sheet metal forming, the forming die can usually only press out the outer shape of the parts and cannot make features such as holes and irregular shapes for rapid positioning in the forming process. At the same time, this also makes it impossible to fully guarantee the dimensions and positional tolerances of the parts during the laser cutting process.

[0004] Secondly, when performing five-axis laser cutting, positioning points are required as references. The selection of the positioning points is based on the characteristic points of the part surface. When the part and the cutting fixture cannot be accurately fixed at the same position as the previous part, it is necessary to reselect the positioning points according to the differences between the two fixed parts. This not only increases the workload of subsequent adjustment, but also affects the consistency of the part processing state and the processing accuracy. Content of the Utility Model
