    CAD Data Limitations

    1. Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
      You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
    2. Unit assembly Data consists of some sub-assemblies.
      It is configured so that each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or edited.
    3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

    4. The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
    5. The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.

  • * Unit assembly Data consists of some sub-assemblies.
       It is configured so that each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or edited.
  • Application Overview

Purpose

  • Retaining fixture to accommodate various sizes of workpiece for soldering.
  • The left side is the fixed side, and the right side is the clamp side.
  • Soldering of difficult to work on positions.

Points for use

  • A manually operated mechanism with a toggle clamp on each side. The left side of fixture is fixed while the right side is adjustable.
  • The part that contacts the workpiece is of ceramic to ensure insulation.

    Refers to porcelain in general or can be referred to a sintered body where material base component is a metal oxide baked by a high temperature process.

Target workpiece

  • Molded plastic product
    External dims.: W130 x D22 x H25
    Weight: 40g

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Toggle clamp stroke: 17mm (Both sides)
  • Right side clamp uses spring
  • External dimensions: W150 x D235 x H37

Required Performance

  • Workpiece retention load: 4.9N
  • Workpiece dimensional variation: ±0.3mm

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Toggle clamp
    • Side push type is selected for horizontal operation.
    • The toggle clamp selected has sufficient clamping force for the application.
  • Linear guide
    • Since applicable moment load is small,select a type most suitable for the size of the fixture.
  • Ceramic plate

    Refers to porcelain in general or can be referred to a sintered body where material base component is a metal oxide baked by a high temperature process.

    • To ensure insulation.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Select a spring that offers sufficient retention load.
  •  Spring load
    • Calculation formula: Reaction force F = kx
    • Assumed load: F = 4.9N
    • Set length: 19mm, Free length: 20mm
    • Assumed deflection under pressure: x = 5mm (1mm when set, 4mm when stroked)
    • Spring constant: k = 4.9 / 5 = 0.98N/mm is selected

Other Design Consideration

  • A linear guide is used to stabilize the horizontal movements of the toggle clamps.
  • To properly set up right hand side of fixture, a toggle clamp is using floating joint for length adjustment.
  • The clamp plate on the clamp side (Right) is in free state to be able to absorb varying workpiece dimensions.
