Design of a clamping and holding fixture

Image
 To meet the stringent requirements for workpiece clamping and holding capability in modern precision manufacturing, a novel clamping fixture has been developed, detailing its structure and operating principles. Through an ingenious structural design, this fixture achieves efficient and stable clamping of workpieces. It not only addresses the shortcomings of traditional clamping fixtures in clamping force stability and reset accuracy but also enhances compactness and durability through an integrated design. In modern precision manufacturing, particularly in high-precision operations like micro-grinding of minute rods, the clamping and holding capability of workpieces directly impacts machining accuracy and production efficiency. Traditional clamping fixtures exhibit numerous shortcomings in clamping force and stability, such as uneven clamping force, unstable holding power, and poor reset accuracy, making them inadequate for modern precision manufacturing demands. As shown in Figur...

As a mechanical designer, how many pitfalls are there on the road to entrepreneurship? How to avoid it?

Image
 As a mechanical designer or machinic designer starting a business, you may encounter unique challenges in addition to those faced by startups in general. Here are some common traps for mechanical designers starting a business, along with strategies to avoid them: Overlooking Intellectual Property Protection: Failure to protect your designs and inventions through patents, trademarks, or copyrights can leave your innovations vulnerable to exploitation or infringement. Work with intellectual property lawyers to understand your rights and implement appropriate protection strategies. Underestimating Design Complexity: Underestimating the complexity of designing and prototyping mechanical products can lead to delays, cost overruns, and quality issues. Conduct thorough feasibility studies, prototype testing, and design reviews to identify and address potential challenges early in the process. Ignoring Manufacturing Constraints: Designing products without considering manufacturing constra...

how to calculate CNC machining cost?

Image
  I. Material Costs The first step in CNC machining price accounting is to determine the cost of the materials used. This includes the purchase price of raw materials, transportation costs, and any costs associated with material handling. When selecting materials, factors such as performance, cost and availability need to be considered. Attention also needs to be paid to whether the quality and specifications of the materials meet the requirements. Second, processing costs Processing costs are the core part of CNC processing price accounting. This includes equipment depreciation, equipment maintenance, electricity, water, gas, labor and so on. Among them, equipment depreciation is the purchase price of the equipment according to the expected useful life of the cost of sharing; equipment maintenance is to maintain the normal operation of the equipment costs, including regular maintenance, troubleshooting, etc.; labor costs are paid to the operator's wages and benefits. When calculat...

Mecanizado compuesto de fresado y torneado CNC

Image
I. ¿Qué es el mecanizado CNC de torneado y fresado? El mecanizado CNC, abreviatura de mecanizado por control numérico por computadora, es un proceso de fabricación que utiliza controles computarizados para manipular herramientas y equipos de corte para un mecanizado de precisión. Dentro del ámbito del mecanizado CNC, existe una técnica especializada conocida como “torneado-fresado”, que combina dos operaciones de mecanizado fundamentales: torneado y fresado. A. Distinción entre torneado y fresado Torneado: El torneado (también llamado torneado) es un proceso de mecanizado en el que una pieza de trabajo gira mientras una herramienta de corte permanece estacionaria. La herramienta corta material de la superficie de la pieza de trabajo para crear formas cilíndricas, como ejes, pasadores y diversos componentes giratorios. Fresado: El fresado, por otro lado, implica el uso de herramientas de corte giratorias para eliminar material de una pieza de trabajo estacionaria. Se emplea para crear u...
