Feature Article Making The Most Of Modular Fixturing Modular fixturing makes sense for this manufacturer, whether its machining one- or two-of-a-kind parts for its custom machine tools or larger quantities for its contract machining business. 专题文章使大部分的模块化装夹模块化装夹是有道理的，为这个制造商，无论是它的加工一或两年制的一类零件，其定制工具机或大批量供其合同加工业务For the last 20 years or so, Ingersoll Milling Machines (Rockford, Illinois) has used modular fixturing to hold for machining the many one- and two-of-a-kind components that go into its custom machine tools. As is the case with most machine tool builders during this economic slump, Ingersolls machine tool orders have declined. However, the company is keeping busy with a rapidly growing contract machining business, and its modular fixturing system is proving just as useful for machining the larger quantities required by the contract work as it is for onesies and twosies. Modular fixturing is a system of interchangeable components designed to securely and accurately hold a workpiece for machining, primarily on holemaking machines such as horizontal and vertical machining centers. It provides an alternative to dedicated workholding fixtures, which are costly, require weeks to design and make, take up a lot of storage space when not being used, and usually cannot be used for anything except the job for which they were designed. Unlike dedicated workholding fixtures, a modular workholding fixture can be disassembled into its component parts at the conclusion of a job and reassembled with other components of the system to secure a workpiece with a completely different configuration 在过去的二十多年来，英格索兰铣床（ rockford ，伊利诺州）使用了模块化装夹进行加工的许多面向1 ， 2路的一类元件进入其定制的机床。就是这种情况与大多数机床的建设者，在这个经济不景气的时期，英格索兰的机床订单减少了。然而，该公司一直都忙于应付迅速增长的合同加工业务，其模块化装夹系统证明是正当有益的加工量较大的按合同工作，因为这是为onesies和twosies 。 组合式夹具是一个系统的互换性部分，旨在稳妥，准确地进行工件加工，主要是对holemaking机器如横向和立式加工中心。它提供了一个替代专用workholding固定装置，它是昂贵的，需要几个星期的设计和制造，占用了大量的存储空间时，不要被利用，而且通常不能用任何东西，除了工作，为他们设计的。不像专用workholding固定装置，模块化workholding夹具，可拆解成其组成部分，在总结工作，
