Radial & Axial Floating Fixture
Basics of Fixture Design
Since the Fixtures for honing have a major role and impact on the geometry of the output components, Abhi has designed the fixtures in such a way that they can achieve the required geometry and also be operator-friendly i.e., even an inexperienced operator can load the components without any mistakes and difficulties. Honing is a typical process where the tool and the fixture must follow the correct path along with the axis of the component’s bore, whereas the Geometry will get affected if these don’t follow the correct path, so the fixture takes a major role in defining the tool’s path.
Abhi has designed the Rigid fixtures, Axial floating fixtures and Radial and Axial Floating fixtures based on the honing component in such a way that the tool and the fixture will guide without disturbing the present axis of the component’s bore during the Honing process.
The Radial and Axial floating fixture which takes care of both the axial and radial shift between the Tool and Components, through which we can achieve very close Bore Geometry.
