Flat jaw pliers play a key role in the manufacturing industry. The accuracy of flat jaw pliers directly affects product quality. For a manufacturing enterprise, accuracy is related to the profits obtained. However, many enterprises in China produce clamps with very poor accuracy due to various reasons, which cannot meet the requirements, let alone achieve better profits. There has also been no significant breakthrough in fixture innovation, resulting in limitations on the types of parts that can be processed. As a commonly used flat jaw clamp in machining, the processing range of ordinary flat jaw clamps is greatly limited. This greatly affects the applicability of flat nose pliers.
Currently, the variety of workpieces produced in medium and small batches with multiple varieties accounts for about 85% of the total number of workpieces. Modern production requires that the variety of products manufactured by enterprises be frequently updated to meet market demand and competition. However, most enterprises are still accustomed to using a large number of traditional specialized fixtures. Generally, in factories with medium production capacity, there are about thousands or even nearly 10000 sets of specialized fixtures; On the other hand, in enterprises with multiple varieties of production, about 50-80% of dedicated fixtures need to be updated every 3-4 years, while the actual wear amount of the fixtures is only about 10-20%. Especially in recent years, the application of new machining technologies such as CNC machine tools, machining centers, group technology, and flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) has put forward the following new requirements for machine tool fixtures:
1. It can quickly and conveniently equip the production of new products to shorten the production preparation cycle and reduce production costs;
2. Capable of clamping a group of workpiece flat pliers with similar characteristics;
3. High precision machine tool fixtures suitable for precision machining;
4. A new type of machine tool fixture suitable for various modern manufacturing technologies;
The above is the role of flat nose pliers in the manufacturing industry, and I hope it can be helpful to you.
