Clamping Fixtures as a Relevant Performance Factor
Clamping fixtures have a significant influence on the machining quality and the achievable cycle times. Window fixtures are mainly used for 5-axis machining. For 4-axis machining, multi-part fixtures are often used. After a tool change, several workpieces can be machined one after the other. This reduces the ratio of non-productive time and increases the overall output. Where necessary, the fixtures can be extended with additional functions, e.g., for aligning the workpiece in the fixture.
