[0002] Currently, the components used in automotive headlight molds are generally machined using ① a "three-axis machine + angle adjustment fixture". However, when using a three-axis machine + angle fixture, the fixture needs to be calibrated first when the workpiece is being machined, then the workpiece needs to be calibrated, the angle needs to be calibrated according to the angle scale lines on the fixture, and finally a re-calibration, centering and dialing, and then normal machining. This process is cumbersome, has a high probability of operational errors, and requires a large amount of manual labor. In addition, this type of fixture has a short service life and is constantly immersed in cutting fluid and iron filings, making it difficult to guarantee machining accuracy. ② Alternatively, it can be machined as a whole using a five-axis machine. However, five-axis machine machining has problems such as high machining costs, frequent clamping for single parts, long manual time, and low efficiency. Utility Model Content
