German schmid workpiece fixtures schmid model schmid price

schmid workpiece fixtures are devices used on machine tools to clamp workpieces and guide cutting tools. They refer to fixtures specifically designed for a particular operation on a specific workpiece. Their characteristics include a compact structure, rapid, convenient, and labor-saving operation, ensuring high machining accuracy and production efficiency. However, the design and manufacturing cycle is long, and manufacturing costs are high. When the product changes, the fixture becomes obsolete and is scrapped because it can no longer be used. It is only suitable for production with fixed products and large batch sizes. It contacts the positioning datum of the workpiece to determine the correct position of the workpiece in the fixture, thereby ensuring the correct relative position of the workpiece with respect to the cutting tool and the machine tool's machining motion during processing. It typically consists of positioning elements, clamping devices, tool-setting and guiding elements or devices, etc.

schmid Workpiece Fixture Classification

Due to the different operating characteristics and structural forms of various machine tools, different requirements are correspondingly placed on the structure of the fixtures used. According to the machine tool used, fixtures can be divided into: lathe fixtures, milling machine fixtures, drilling machine fixtures, boring machine fixtures, grinding machine fixtures, gear machine tool fixtures, and other machine tool fixtures. According to the clamping power source adopted by the fixture, they can be divided into: manual fixtures, pneumatic fixtures, hydraulic fixtures, pneumatic-hydraulic fixtures, electric fixtures, magnetic fixtures, vacuum fixtures, etc. Specialized classification includes general-purpose fixtures, special-purpose fixtures, general-purpose adjustable fixtures, group fixtures, modular fixtures, and pallet fixtures. A pallet fixture is a fixture used on automatic lines. This fixture not only serves to clamp the workpiece but also becomes integrated with the workpiece, moving from one station to the next along the automatic line for processing different operations.

schmid Workpiece Fixture Features

Workpiece varieties for small-batch, multi-variety production already account for approximately 85% of the total number of workpiece types. Modern production requires enterprises to frequently update their product varieties to adapt to market demands and competition. However, general enterprises are still accustomed to extensively using traditional special-purpose fixtures. In factories with medium production capacity, there are usually thousands or even nearly ten thousand sets of special-purpose fixtures. On the other hand, in enterprises with multi-variety production, approximately 50~80% of special-purpose fixtures must be updated every 3~4 years, while the actual wear of the fixtures is only about 10~20%. To meet the application of new machining technologies such as CNC machine tools, machining centers, group technology, and Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), machine tool fixtures have the following characteristics: 1) Can rapidly and conveniently equip new products for production, shortening the production preparation cycle and reducing production costs; 2) Can clamp a group of workpieces with similar characteristics; 3) Suitable for high-precision machine tool fixtures for precision machining; 4) Suitable for new types of machine tool fixtures for various modern manufacturing technologies; 5) Adopt efficient clamping devices powered by hydraulic stations, etc., to further reduce labor intensity and improve labor productivity; 6) Improve the standardization level of machine tool fixtures. This is mainly manifested in four aspects: standardization, precision, high efficiency, and flexibility.

schmid Workpiece Fixture Maintenance

1) Before use, check whether the limit dimensions are still in the correct position. 2) If the stop pin wear exceeds tolerances, it can be ground and repaired; if the baffle plate, pin, or positioning tapered pin wear exceeds tolerances, they can be reassembled, shifting the worn areas to continue use. 3) Apply anti-rust oil after use. Regular long-term lubrication maintains the life of synchronous fixtures; incorrect lubrication will lead to reduced clamping force, poor accuracy, wear, and seizing, so correct lubrication is essential. After machining, be sure to clean the body of the synchronous fixture and the slide surfaces using an air gun or similar tools. During cleaning, remove the dust cover fixing screws and take off the dust cover, while opening the main jaws to their widest position to easily clean accumulated chips inside the fixture. To avoid reduced clamping force due to rust, use rust-preventive cutting oil. Remove the synchronous fixture for a thorough cleaning every six months (at least every two months when machining cast iron or copper parts). Check parts for damage or wear; if severe, replace with new parts immediately. Lubricate thoroughly before assembly.
