What’s the most effective fixturing strategy for minimizing distortion in thin-walled aluminum parts?
A
High clamping force in a vise
B
Vacuum fixturing with full-surface support
C
Locating only on external pins
D
Clamp near the cutting zone tightly
What’s the most effective fixturing strategy for minimizing distortion in thin-walled aluminum parts?
B
Vacuum fixturing with full-surface support is the most effective fixturing strategy for minimizing distortion in thin-walled aluminum parts.
WHY
Vacuum fixturing distributes clamping pressure evenly, avoids point loads, and stabilizes thin walls. Conformal soft jaws achieve a similar effect when vacuum isn’t practical.
