ludedecke fixtures refer to devices used in the mechanical manufacturing process to secure workpieces, ensuring they occupy the correct position for machining or inspection; they are also known as clamps. In a broad sense, any device used to quickly, conveniently, and safely install workpieces during any step of the process can be called a fixture. Fixtures typically consist of locating elements (to determine the correct position of the workpiece within the fixture), clamping devices, tool-setting and guiding elements (to determine the relative position of the tool to the workpiece or guide the tool direction), indexing devices (enabling the workpiece to complete machining at several stations in a single setup, including rotary indexing devices and linear indexing devices), connecting elements, and fixture bodies (fixture bases). Examples include welding fixtures, inspection fixtures, assembly fixtures, and machine tool fixtures, with machine tool fixtures being the most common, often referred to simply as fixtures. When machining workpieces on machine tools, to ensure the workpiece surface meets technical requirements such as dimensions, geometric shape, and mutual positional accuracy with other surfaces as specified in the drawings, the workpiece must be properly located (positioning) and securely clamped (clamping) before machining.

ludedecke fixture requirements

Whether gripper-type or suction-type, robot end-effectors must have the repeatability required for the task. The structure of the robot end-effector should be as simple and compact as possible, and lightweight, to reduce the load on the arm. Dedicated robot end-effectors have a simpler structure than general-purpose ones, offer high work efficiency, and can perform various tasks. In contrast, "universal" end-effectors may have disadvantages such as complex structures and high costs. Therefore, it is recommended to design and use serialized, standardized, dedicated robot end-effectors that can be quickly changed. If an object has two opposing flat surfaces, a parallel two-jaw gripper can be used to address dimensional deviations. For cylindrical objects, a two-jaw gripper can also be used for clamping. Note that containment or enveloping gripping requires less force.

ludedecke fixture features

Workpieces for small-batch, high-variety production account for approximately 85% of the total number of workpiece types. Modern production requires companies to frequently update their product varieties to adapt to market demands and competition. However, most companies are still accustomed to extensively using traditional dedicated fixtures. In factories with medium production capacity, there are typically thousands to nearly ten thousand sets of dedicated fixtures. On the other hand, in high-variety production enterprises, approximately 50~80% of dedicated fixtures need to 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) Enable rapid and convenient setup for new product production, shortening production preparation cycles and reducing production costs; 2) Capable of clamping 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) Utilize efficient clamping devices powered by hydraulic stations and other power sources to further reduce labor intensity and improve labor productivity; 6) Improve the standardization level of machine tool fixtures. This is mainly reflected in four aspects: standardization, precision, efficiency, and flexibility.

ludedecke fixture selection

When selecting pneumatic grippers and jaw designs, these are the main factors to consider: 1) Part shape, orientation, and dimensional variations: If an object has two opposing flat surfaces, a parallel two-jaw gripper can be used to address dimensional deviations. For cylindrical objects, a two-jaw gripper can also be used for clamping. Note that containment or enveloping gripping requires less force. 2) Part weight: The clamping force must be sufficient to hold the object securely during 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 consider. 3) Accessibility: This relates both to the task being performed and the spatial requirements of the gripper jaws. If external operations are to be performed on the object, internal clamping is required. Scissor-type grippers are generally less expensive but require more space for jaw movement. 4) Environment: Grippers used in harsh environments or cleanrooms require appropriate designs. 5) Object retention: When air pressure is no longer supplied, the gripper will release the object, causing it to drop. For such applications, spring-assisted grippers can be used.
