Germany Torquato AG workholding fixtures Torquato AG model Torquato AG price

Torquato AG workholding fixture is a machine tool accessory product manufactured based on the electromagnetic principle. It generates magnetic force by energizing internal coils, firmly holding workpieces in contact with the surface of a magnetically permeable panel. Demagnetization and workpiece removal are achieved by de-energizing the coils to eliminate the magnetic force. Main applications include workpiece clamping during the machining of ferrous workpieces on grinding machines, electromagnetic knife grinders, gantry milling machines, and gantry planers. Lifting threaded holes are located on both sides of the rectangular electromagnetic chuck; T-shaped screws can be screwed in for lifting during installation, and it is fixed to the worktable using T-shaped blocks and screws. Connect the DC power supply and ground wire from the machine tool, then perform a precision grind on the upper surface of the chuck to ensure parallelism between the upper and bottom surfaces. When holding a workpiece, sufficient positioning suction force is obtained by bridging two adjacent magnetic poles, allowing grinding operations to proceed. Magnetization and demagnetization of the workpiece can be controlled via the machine tool buttons.

Torquato AG workholding fixture classification

1) Lathe fixtures: Fixtures used on lathes to machine internal and external rotary surfaces and end faces of workpieces are called lathe fixtures. Most lathe fixtures are mounted on the spindle, while a minority are installed on the saddle or bed. 2) Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) fixtures: Used on measuring machines, utilizing modular support and reference devices to achieve flexible fixation of the measured workpiece. This device allows automatic programming to support the workpiece and establish an unlimited number of workpiece configuration reference points. Advanced dedicated software can directly generate workpiece clamping programs within seconds using the workpiece's geometric data. 3) Industrial robot fixtures: Installed on industrial robots for use in industrial automation equipment, representing one of the new technologies in modern industrial automation. They primarily appear in modern industrial production in coordination with robots, with common applications in automated unmanned factories for machine tool loading/unloading, workpiece palletizing/depalletizing, welding, and grinding. 4) Milling machine fixtures: Installed on the milling machine worktable and move with it during feed motion. They mainly consist of positioning devices, clamping devices, fixture bodies, connecting elements, and tool-setting elements. During milling, cutting forces are high and cutting is intermittent, resulting in significant vibration; therefore, milling fixtures require high clamping force, as well as high rigidity and strength. 5) Bearing housing fixtures: To ensure and improve the production quality of bearing housings, in addition to machine tools and other mechanical equipment, a large amount of process equipment is used, including bearing housing fixtures, molds, cutting tools, and related auxiliary tools. A bearing housing fixture is a production tool specifically designed to ensure the product quality of bearing housings, making the production process more convenient. Different bearing housing fixtures vary in structure, form, operating conditions, and design principles, resulting in a wide variety of types and styles that account for a significant proportion in both quantity and variety. This type of bearing housing fixture can accurately determine the relative position between the workpiece and the tool, meaning it can clamp the workpiece to be machined, thereby enabling the necessary movements during the machining process. Since bearing housing fixtures play a very important role in the bearing housing production process, the drafting of their design drawings is also crucial.

Torquato AG workholding fixture classification

1) General-purpose fixtures: General-purpose fixtures refer to standardized fixtures that can be used to machine different workpieces within a certain range. Examples include three-jaw chucks and four-jaw independent chucks on lathes, and vises, indexing heads, and rotary tables on milling machines. These fixtures are generally produced by specialized factories and are often supplied to users as machine tool accessories. Their characteristics are wide adaptability and low production efficiency, making them mainly suitable for single-piece and small-batch production. 2) Dedicated fixtures: Dedicated fixtures refer to fixtures specially designed for a specific operation on a particular workpiece. Their characteristics are 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. They are only suitable for production with fixed products and large batches. 3) Universal adjustable fixtures and group fixtures: Their characteristic is that some components of the fixture can be replaced and some devices adjusted to accommodate the machining of different parts. Fixtures used for group machining of similar parts are called group fixtures. Compared to group fixtures, universal adjustable fixtures have less clearly defined machining objects and a wider scope of application. 4) Modular fixtures: Modular fixtures refer to fixtures assembled from a set of pre-manufactured standard elements and components according to the machining requirements of the part. Manufactured by professional manufacturers, their characteristics are flexibility, versatility, short manufacturing cycle, and reusability of components, making them particularly suitable for new product prototyping and single-piece/small-batch production. 5) Pallet fixtures: A pallet fixture is a type of fixture used on automated lines. This fixture not only serves to clamp the workpiece but also moves as an integrated unit with the workpiece along the automated line from one station to the next for different machining operations.

Torquato AG workholding fixture maintenance

When using vacuum suction cups (without grippers), note that the manipulator's movement speed must not be too high; otherwise, shear forces will be generated on the suction cup, causing the product to easily drop during rapid twisting. In some cases, a gripper can be used to ensure safe transport of the product. Considering the possibility of the product sticking to the mold, an air gripper is usually installed to resolve this issue. If the product's surface area is too small or the product is too heavy for vacuum suction cups, the problem can also be solved by using grippers. If strict aesthetic requirements apply to the product, the clamped area must not be on the outer surface. To address this, a sensor circuit can be installed. Once the sensor confirms that the gripper or suction cup has securely grasped the product, it sends a signal to the manipulator to proceed with the next operation. In cases where the manipulator's motion capability is limited and manual twisting or prying is required to demold the product or remove it from the molding area, a special cylinder capable of independent movement without relying on the manipulator can be added to improve the situation.
