1. Arc Welding Fixtures:
Arc welding fixtures are a common type of fixture used in arc welding processes. They are typically made of conductive materials, possessing excellent electrical conductivity to facilitate current transfer during welding. Arc welding fixtures are suitable for welding a wide variety of materials, including metals and alloys. They are available in diverse designs to suit specific welding requirements.
2. Gas Shielded Welding Fixtures:
Gas shielded welding (such as MIG and TIG welding) often requires special fixtures. These fixtures typically have gas protection channels to ensure effective gas delivery and protect the welding area during welding. Gas shielded welding fixtures are highly effective for welding thin plates and applications requiring high-quality welds.
3. Magnetic Fixtures:
Magnetic fixtures are fixtures that do not require clamping bolts or other fixing devices. They utilize strong magnetic force to firmly hold the workpiece in the welding position. Magnetic fixtures are suitable for a wide range of metal workpieces, especially in production environments requiring rapid workpiece changes.
4. Mechanical Fixtures:
Mechanical fixtures use jaws, clamps, or gripping devices to stabilize the workpiece. These fixtures offer high stability and control, making them suitable for applications requiring high-precision welding. Mechanical fixtures are generally suitable for a wide variety of workpiece shapes and sizes.
5. Rotary Fixtures:
Rotary fixtures are typically used in conjunction with welding rotary tables for welding round workpieces or workpieces requiring full circumference welding. They allow the workpiece to rotate during the welding process, ensuring uniform weld quality. This is particularly useful for manufacturing cylindrical parts or pipes.
