German dorner workpiece fixtures dorner model dorner price

dorner workpiece fixtures are one of the actuators for vacuum equipment. Generally, using vacuum suction cups to grasp products is the most economical method. Vacuum suction cups come in various types; rubber suction cups can operate at high temperatures, silicone rubber suction cups are very suitable for grasping products with rough surfaces, and polyurethane suction cups are highly durable. Additionally, in actual production, if oil resistance is required for the suction cups, materials such as polyurethane, nitrile rubber, or vinyl-containing polymers can be considered for manufacturing. Typically, to avoid scratching the surface of the product, it is best to choose suction cups with bellows made of nitrile rubber or silicone rubber. The suction cup material is made of nitrile rubber, which has high tensile strength, and is therefore widely used in various vacuum holding devices.

dorner workpiece fixture operating principle

The most widely used grippers are pneumatic grippers; they are essentially cylinders powered by compressed air. When air is supplied, the gripper jaws approach the object and firmly grasp it to perform other operations, and when the air direction is reversed, the gripper releases the object. Typical applications include changing the orientation of an object or moving it during pick-and-place operations. When the gripper holds a workpiece, there should be certain force constraints and shape constraints to ensure that the clamped workpiece is fully released during movement, dwelling, and loading processes. Additionally, it should ensure that the geometric deviation of the workpiece's holding posture remains within the specified tolerance zone.

dorner workpiece fixture features

1) Standardization: The standardization and generalization of machine tool fixtures are two interrelated aspects. China already has national standards for fixture parts and components: GB/T2148~T2259－91, as well as standards for various general-purpose fixtures and modular fixtures. The standardization of machine tool fixtures facilitates commercial production of fixtures, helps shorten production preparation cycles, and reduces total production costs. 2) Precision: As the precision of mechanical products continues to improve, the precision requirements for fixtures inevitably increase accordingly. There are many structural types of precision fixtures, such as multi-tooth discs for precise indexing, with an indexing accuracy of ±0.1"; and high-precision three-jaw self-centering chucks for precision turning, with a centering accuracy of 5μm. 3) High efficiency: High-efficiency fixtures are mainly used to reduce the basic and auxiliary time of workpiece processing, thereby improving labor productivity and reducing workers' labor intensity. Common high-efficiency fixtures include automated fixtures, high-speed fixtures, and fixtures with clamping force devices. For example, using an electric vise to clamp workpieces on a milling machine can increase efficiency by approximately 5 times; using a high-speed three-jaw self-centering chuck on a lathe ensures that the jaws can still firmly clamp the workpiece at a test speed of 9000r/min, thereby significantly increasing the cutting speed. In addition to configuring corresponding high-efficiency and automated fixtures on production lines and automatic lines, various fixtures for automatic workpiece clamping and automatic fixture changing devices have appeared on CNC machines, especially machining centers, fully leveraging the efficiency of CNC machines. 4) Flexibility: The flexibility of machine tool fixtures is similar to that of machine tools, referring to the ability of machine tool fixtures to adapt to variable process factors through adjustment, combination, and other methods. The main variable process factors include: process characteristics, production batch size, and the shape and dimensions of the workpiece. New types of fixtures with flexibility characteristics mainly include: modular fixtures, general-purpose adjustable fixtures, group fixtures, modular fixtures, and CNC fixtures. To meet the needs of modern mechanical industry for multi-variety, small-to-medium batch production, expanding the flexibility of fixtures, changing the non-detachable structure of special-purpose fixtures to a detachable structure, and developing adjustable fixture structures will be the main direction of current fixture development.

dorner workpiece fixture selection

When selecting pneumatic grippers and jaw designs, these are the main factors to consider: 1) Part shape, orientation, and dimensional differences: If the object has two opposing flat surfaces, a double-jaw parallel gripper can be used, which solves dimensional deviation issues. For cylindrical objects, a double-jaw gripper can also be used for clamping. Note that retaining or encompassing clamping requires less force. 2) Part weight: The clamping force must be sufficient to hold the object securely while performing the required operations. The type of jaw design must be considered when calculating the required clamping force. Please note that safety factors should be considered when selecting the required force, and air pressure is also a factor to note. 3) Accessibility: This relates both to the operation being performed and the spatial size of the gripper jaws. If external operations are to be performed on the object, internal clamping is required. Scissor-style grippers are usually cheaper but require more space for jaw movement. 4) Environment: Grippers used in harsh environments or cleanrooms require corresponding designs. 5) Object retention: When air supply is no longer provided, the gripper will release its hold on the object, causing it to drop. For such applications, spring-assisted grippers can be used.
