Clamping Basics 131
"Clamping Basics" describes the fundamental principles and concepts of clamping for manufacturing operations as well as common clamps and how to use them. Machine operators use clamps to hold workpieces in place and prevent their shifting during an operation due to cutting or other forces. Common clamps include strap, swing, and toggle clamps, and manufacturers use them in an array of applications, including machining, assembly, and inspection.
Clamping is used in a wide array of manufacturing operations, making an understanding of how to clamp essential for most operations. Proper clamping can improve productivity by increasing the speed of manufacturing, lower costs by reducing the need to scrap or re-work parts, and improve part quality by allowing for tighter tolerances and better surface finish. After taking this class, users will understand the basic principles and considerations of clamping and be able to identify basic clamp types and describe how to use them.
