Multi-Functional Modular Tool Insert Engineering
Differentiated stepped profiles cover multiple automation operation demands: thin flat strips for micro workpiece height probing, thick stepped blocks for heavy clamping limiting, hollow sleeve bodies for shaft positioning, and angled corner inserts for edge trimming & positioning. Uniform mounting hole specifications enable universal interchange on fixture bases, while multi-step shoulder structures realize multi-size workpiece limiting without extra spare parts. All contact edges are precision ground to eliminate sharp burrs, preventing scratch damage to fragile electronic, plastic and cosmetic finished workpieces during high-speed automated cycles.
Thick solid base structure delivers strong bending and impact resistance, resisting deformation under long-term repeated clamping and cutting loads to maintain consistent positioning precision.
Dual Material Matching for Diverse Automation Scenarios
Two mainstream material options adapt to different production environment requirements:
- 40Cr Alloy Steel: High tensile strength and impact toughness, cost-effective for medium-heavy load cutting and clamping stations; supports nitriding hardening to boost surface wear resistance
- SUS304 Stainless Steel: Full anti-rust and chemical corrosion resistance, suitable for humid workshops, medical and food-grade automation lines, resisting erosion from cutting fluid and disinfectant liquids Both materials feature excellent CNC machinability to realize complex stepped, slotted and hollow custom profiles with stable dimensional consistency.
Custom Automation Tool Insert Engineering Support
- Custom stepped shoulder height, strip thickness, hollow inner diameter, notch layout and mounting hole positions based on customer 2D/3D CAD drawings
- Optional surface upgrades: Gas Nitriding, Hard Chrome Plating, Anti-Rust Passivation, Mirror Polishing
- DFM fixture consultation: clamping force optimization, probing flatness control, wear gap compensation design
- Fast single-piece prototype sampling and bulk interchangeable tool batch delivery for automated line renovation projects
Key Features & Advantages
- Full-Series Diversified Modular Parts: Unified mounting standard for probing, clamping, cutting and positioning inserts to simplify spare part management.
- Multi-Step Stepped Limiting Design: Integrated multiple positioning shoulders adapt to workpieces of different sizes, reducing fixture customization cost.
