HYDRAULIC FIXTURES Hydraulic fixtures have several advantages over Manual fixtures, these benefits will help reduce costs for manufacturers. Advantages of hydraulic clamping
Higher Productivity More parts can be fixtured in a single set-up due to the use of compact hydraulic clamps.
Consistent clamping forces Parts are clamped with the same clamping force, and in the same location every cycle, eliminating the variability in part deflection.
Improved component stability Hydraulic work supports are used to support the part and/or dampen machining forces without distorting the part, this will help you achieve a robust manufacturing process.
Flexibility Clamping sequencing can be activated during the machining cycle to provide clearance for cutting tools, to remove forces for close tolerance machining.
Eliminating human error Consistency is ensured, no missed steps and proven repeatable clamping sequences.
Ergonomic benefits Enables operators to be more productive with less effort.
When to use Manual Fixtures
Low cost justification
Manual clamping fixtures when batch quantities are small
Large and heavy parts
Skilled operators are readily available
