During the finishing process, uneven part features, material stress release, and improper positioning and clamping can easily lead to dimensional deviations, severe product deformation, and ultimately, product failure. Therefore, strict control of product positioning and clamping is crucial during the machining process to avoid dimensional deviations. Utility Model Content

A hollow cone shaft is provided in the slotted centering cone ring. An adjusting screw is provided through the hollow cone shaft. The adjusting screw is threadedly engaged with the clamp base. The height of the hollow cone shaft is adjusted by changing the height of the adjusting screw, and then the opening angle of the slotted centering cone ring is changed.

[0011] Air hole design: The clamp body is provided with air holes perpendicular to the hollow structure, which facilitates the circulation of coolant during processing and improves processing efficiency and quality.
[0012] Easy to operate: When loading and unloading parts, you only need to loosen the nut on the pressure plate and the screw on the tapered shaft to replace the parts. The whole process is simple to operate and improves work efficiency.
[0013] Quick loading and unloading: Through the rational design of fixing and adjusting mechanisms, the function of quick loading and unloading of parts is realized, which saves processing preparation time and improves production efficiency.
[0014] Prevent deformation: By screwing the adjusting screw into the tapered shaft to fix the thin-walled shell, deformation during processing is prevented and processing accuracy is guaranteed.
