Workpiece Clamping Workpiece clamping is the process of securely fastening or immobilizing the workpiece onto a work surface or fixture during laser engraving, machining, or fabrication operations. Clamping mechanisms may include manual clamps, pneumatic clamps, hydraulic clamps, or vacuum hold-down systems, depending on the specific requirements of the machining process and the characteristics of the workpiece material.
Effective workpiece clamping prevents slippage, movement, or vibration of the workpiece during machining, ensuring stability, accuracy, and repeatability in engraving or cutting operations. Proper clamping techniques are essential for achieving precise machining results and minimizing errors or defects in the finished workpieces. |
