PRECISION MACHINING: TIGHTENING MECHANISMS

In Curiel Mechanics We have been working for more than 40 years in the manufacture of precision machining in Barcelona, always guaranteeing our clients the best quality in all our finishes. One of the first elements to take into account when we want to obtain a precision machining in Barcelona is the clamping of the piece, without a good clamping, it will not be possible to obtain a good result, and consequently, the resulting piece will not fulfill its function. So let's see what the tightening mechanisms most used in the manufacture of precision machining in Barcelona.

Tightening mechanisms

The most common are screw grips, cam lever grips, and wedge clamps. In the screw tightening, the screws generally have a spherical tip with a high radius of curvature to ensure greater support. This type of tightening is the most used in all types of mechanisms since it has numerous attached advantages among which stand out: a simple structure, great amplification of the resulting force and reliability in self-locking. The drawback would be that it is a slow operation in automated production processes.

Another of the tightenings used to manufacture precision machining in Barcelona is he tightening with cam levers. In this case, the contact surface of the cam with x-curvature and the flat surface intervenes. This system is the fastest and, therefore, the most convenient to use in large automated series manufacturing. Normally, a cylindrical cam is used whose rotation has a variable angle.

Finally, we have the mechanism tighten with wedges. This clamping system allows us to manufacture precision machined parts in Barcelona in an easy and simple way. It is widely used in the mass production of parts together with the roller for a greater amplification of the clamping force, which will allow us to hold the part safely throughout the process. In this case, the self-locking function will not be necessary so we can use wedges with greater angles because continuous clamping mechanisms are activated. In Curiel Mechanics, We are specialists in the manufacture of precision machining in Barcelona and we use different tightening mechanisms depending on the part to be machined, always ensuring the highest quality in all our finishes.
