Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the field of machining, robot castings usually need to be fixed on a workbench through screws for machining. However, this fixing mode has significant technical defects in actual operation: when the screws are tightened, the clamping force applied is easy to cause local or overall deformation of the casting. Since the casting itself has limited rigidity, under the action of the locking force, the machining reference surface will produce micro-deformation, and this initial deformation will be continuously amplified in the subsequent machining process. Especially in high-precision machining occasions, even if the initial reference deviation is micron-level, after the accumulation of multiple processes, the shape and position tolerances of the final workpiece are often seriously out of tolerance. More seriously, the deformation caused by clamping stress has uncertainty, and different clamping times of different workpieces or the same workpiece can produce differential deformation modes, making it difficult to control the machining consistency.
