Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of CNC machining technology, specifically relating to a planar adaptive machining fixture based on dual-axis rotation. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional CNC machining fixtures mostly use a rigid fixing method, which has the following drawbacks:

[0003] Poor adaptability: For irregular planar or curved workpieces, frequent fixture changes or manual adjustments are required, resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] Insufficient positioning accuracy: A single clamping point can easily cause workpiece displacement, and vibration during processing can easily cause displacement errors.

[0005] Complex adjustment: Existing adjustment mechanisms rely on a single drive source, and multi-directional adjustment requires step-by-step operation, making synchronous control difficult.

[0006] Low stability: Existing pneumatic clamps are affected by air pressure fluctuations in clamping force, resulting in insufficient clamping reliability.

[0007] This invention effectively solves the above problems by using a dual-axis rotation mechanism and multi-cylinder coordinated adjustment technology, combined with an elastic support part and an adaptive contact part, to achieve efficient, precise and stable workpiece clamping.
