| Abstract | The concept of six face milling is a novel concept that requires all the sides of the job
piece to be machined on a milling machine. To achieve six face machining it is required
to machine certain part of work-piece and grip the semi machined part (irregular shape)
of the job in a clamp and then turn that clamp to 180 degree (flipping) such that unmachined part of the work-piece comes on the tool side of milling machine and required
machining can be done to achieve complete six face machining. The entire system is
divided into two parts; in part one certain part of work-piece is milled in a regular vise.
To grip the semi-machined job piece which is now an irregular shape, a flexible screw
fixture is developed. Flexible screw fixture use movable manual screws that can be
tightened and hold the semi machined job. After gripping job this fixture is rotated to
180 degree (flipping) such that the un-machined part of the job piece comes on the tool side and remaining machining is done. This fixture is designed in such a way that after rotating fixture, correct reference positions of the work-piece can easily be located. |
