What is a modular fixturing system, and what is it used for?
·A modular fixturing system is a flexible setup that enables rapid machine tool response to diverse and complex machining tasks through the quick assembly of fixture components, drastically reducing downtime for setup. It is most practical for machining small-batch, high-variety parts.
·This approach moves away from the traditional "one machine, one fixture" model. Instead, a single system supports all tooling fixtures, transforming the workflow into an "offline preparation, online machining" process. It turns a five-axis machine tool from an isolated piece of equipment into a responsive, high-output, and stable precision manufacturing center.

We offer three types of vises for 52mm chucks: H67, H90X, and H105 (H represents the jaw width), meeting your clamping needs for workpieces of different sizes. The serrated and profiled jaws are suitable for both primary machining and secondary finishing of parts. |
 
|
52mm workholding fixtures, collets, and three-jaw chucks, quickly compatible with 52mm chucks, for clamping round parts. |
 |
52mm Chuck ·With a locking force of 35 Nm for all 4 rivets, the pull force of all 4 holes can reach 20 kN. |
|
|
This four-axis single-sided bridge plate features mounting holes and a flexible T-slot design. The mounting holes are suitable for 52mm vises and 52mm chucks, and the T-slot design allows for the installation of other fixtures. |
 |
We offer three types of vises for 96mm chucks: H120, H125 (H represents the jaw width), meeting your clamping needs for workpieces of different sizes. The serrated and profiled jaws are suitable for both primary machining and secondary finishing of parts. |
 |
A three-jaw chuck suitable for a 96mm chuck, used for clamping round parts. |
 |
96mm Chuck ·With a locking force of 35 Nm for all 4 rivets, the tensile force in all 4 holes is greater than 20 kN. |
 |
The five-axis riser/pyramid mount, in addition to allowing direct mounting of 96mm or 52mm chucks and replacing various fixtures to enhance the flexibility of five-axis machining, also increases the height, effectively expanding the Z-axis working space of the machine tool and solving interference problems between the tool holder/spindle and the workpiece fixture. |

四、FAQ
How do modular fixtures reduce costs and increase efficiency?
A:Direct benefits
* Fixture design cycle shortened by 30%-50%;
* Workpiece clamping time reduced by over 60% (compared to dedicated fixtures);
* A complete set of modular fixtures can replace dozens of dedicated fixtures.
A:BIndirect benefits
* Improved machine tool utilization, reduced downtime;
* Rapid response to trial production orders, accelerating product iteration.
Is investing in modular fixtures worthwhile for small-batch production?
A: Suitable scenarios:
* Multiple product types, small batch sizes (<500 pieces);
* Frequent switching of processing tasks (e.g., mold workshops, research and development trials);
