Metalworking Machinery Fixture

Metalworking Machinery Fixtures are specialized tools or devices used in metalworking machinery to hold, support, or position workpieces during machining operations. They are part of the supply class Machine Tool Accessories, which includes various tools and equipment used in conjunction with machine tools.

Metalworking Machinery Fixtures are designed to securely hold workpieces in place, ensuring accuracy and stability during machining processes. They are commonly used in milling machines, lathes, drilling machines, and other metalworking machinery.

Some common types of Metalworking Machinery Fixtures include:

1. Vises: These are clamping devices that hold workpieces firmly in place. They typically have adjustable jaws that can be tightened or loosened to accommodate different sizes and shapes of workpieces.

2. Clamps: These are used to secure workpieces to the machine table or other fixtures. Clamps come in various designs, such as C-clamps, toggle clamps, and quick-action clamps.

3. Angle Plates: These are used to hold workpieces at specific angles for machining operations. Angle plates have a flat surface and one or more precision-machined angles, allowing for accurate positioning of the workpiece.

4. Rotary Tables: These fixtures enable the rotation of workpieces around a vertical or horizontal axis. They are commonly used for indexing, circular milling, and other operations that require precise angular positioning.

5. Indexing Heads: These fixtures allow for the precise rotation of workpieces in fixed increments. They are often used in conjunction with milling machines for cutting gears, splines, or other components with regular spacing.

6. Collets and Chucks: These are used to hold and secure cutting tools or workpieces in metalworking machinery. Collets are typically used in lathes, while chucks are commonly used in milling machines and drilling machines.

These are just a few examples of Metalworking Machinery Fixtures. There are many other types and variations available, depending on the specific machining requirements and applications.
