Product Details

Product introduction

Special tooling fixtures are used for customized profiling positioning components for automated production lines, semi-automatic workstations, and inspection tooling, covering the workpiece positioning needs of automotive thermal management valves, heat exchange cores, electronic controllers, sunroof seat interior parts, and new energy liquid cooling modules. They are divided into three categories: assembly positioning fixtures, testing sealing fixtures, and welding profiling fixtures. They are made of aluminum alloy, polyurethane, and nylon anti-scratch materials and are suitable for servo/pneumatic pressing and robot grasping and positioning scenarios. They can be individually modified with original equipment, or can be delivered simultaneously with the entire production line to ensure repeated positioning accuracy of workpiece clamping and prevent workpieces from being offset and scratched during assembly, testing, and welding.

Core Advantages Highlights

Workpiece 1:1 profiling and precise positioning

Mold opening based on 3D scanned workpiece data, repeatable positioning accuracy ±0.02mm, no clamping offset;

Anti-scratch and wear-resistant material options

The polyurethane buffer layer in the area of contact with the workpiece prevents scratches and bumps on the surface of the shell and fins;

Quick change standardized interface

Unified positioning pins and installation base plate standards, replacement products only replace the fixture body, and the base is universal;

Multi-working condition adaptation design

The welded model is resistant to high temperature and heat insulation, the leak detection model is sealed and corrosion-resistant, and the assembled model is high-strength and pressure-bearing;

Lightweight and high-strength structure

The aircraft aluminum main body is light in weight and high in load-bearing capacity, and is suitable for rapid grabbing and transport by robots;

Positioning sensors can be integrated on request

Install a photoelectric proximity switch to detect whether the workpiece is in place and whether it is missing.

Detailed explanation of core functions and values

High-precision profiling positioning to eliminate assembly inspection errors

Based on the three-dimensional model of the workpiece, the profiling cavity is integrally processed. After the workpiece is placed, it completely fits the limit, and the pressing mechanism is evenly stressed. It completely solves the problems of press fitting misalignment, welding offset, loose leak detection and sealing, and dimensional inspection tolerance caused by the large positioning gap of general tooling, and stably guarantees the consistency of parts processing quality.

Anti-scratch buffer protection to reduce workpiece scrapping and loss

The contact surface of the workpiece is fully covered with polyurethane cushion pads, and the hard aluminum alloy clamp does not directly contact the product shell, fins, or paint surface; it avoids scratches, deformations, and indentations during the clamping process, greatly reduces scrap parts with poor appearance, and reduces the cost of raw material loss.

Standardized quick-change structure, suitable for flexible production of multiple varieties

Unified standard installation base plate and positioning pin interface, the same production line only needs to replace the fixture body to switch different types of workpieces, and the base, compression cylinder, and sensor are all reused; new product iterations do not need to remodel the production line frame, only the corresponding fixtures are customized, and the investment in production line modification is reduced by 65%.

Special structure optimization according to working conditions

Welding fixture: Built-in heat insulation protective layer to prevent high-temperature welding slag from burning the workpiece and fixture, and reserve a smoke circulation channel;

Leak detection and sealing fixture: Integrated inflating and vacuuming channels, the sealed silicone ring is resistant to refrigerant and water vapor corrosion, and will not leak after long-term use;

Assembly fixture: High-strength pressure-bearing structure, which can withstand the impact of servo press-fitting without deformation, and the accuracy will not be degraded after long-term use.

In place detection interlocking safety control

A photoelectric proximity switch can be integrated. When the workpiece is not placed in place or the workpiece is missing, the equipment automatically locks and prohibits starting the pressing, welding, and inspection processes; a synchronized HMI pop-up window prompts that the workpiece is missing, eliminating empty runs without materials and batch defects.

Commercial value: The scrap rate of workpiece clamping offset and appearance scratches is reduced by 90%, and the cost of production line replacement and transformation is greatly reduced; one base is compatible with multiple product fixtures, and the total cost of long-term multi-model production tooling procurement is saved by 50%; positioning accuracy is stable, and after-sales claims for poor factory performance of parts are significantly reduced.
