Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fixture technology, and in particular to a multi-functional fixture device for machining centers. Background Technology
[0002] Machining centers evolved from CNC milling machines. The biggest difference between them and CNC milling machines is that machining centers have the ability to automatically change machining tools. By installing tools for different purposes on the tool magazine, the machining tools on the spindle can be changed in a single setup via an automatic tool changer, achieving multiple machining functions. In machining centers, workpieces are generally clamped using fixtures to fix their position and prevent them from shifting during subsequent machining processes, which would affect the quality of the machining work.
[0003] In actual use, the multi-functional fixtures used in existing machining centers require different clamping tools for workpieces of different sizes, thicknesses, or shapes. This requires operators to select the appropriate fixtures according to the specifications of the workpieces before they can carry out the machining work, which affects the overall work efficiency. In addition, when double-sided machining is involved, the machine needs to be stopped for adjustment, which makes it inconvenient to flip the workpieces and reduce downtime. Utility Model Content

This solves the problem mentioned in the background art that different sizes, thicknesses, or shapes of workpieces require different clamping tools, which requires operators to select appropriate clamps according to the specifications of the workpiece before normal processing can be carried out, thus affecting the overall work efficiency. In addition, when double-sided processing is involved, it is necessary to stop the machine for adjustment, which is not convenient for flipping the workpiece to reduce downtime.
