Common Materials for Inspection Fixtures
Many materials are commonly used for making inspection fixtures, including ABS plastic, PVC sheet, steel, and aluminum. The specific choice depends on the application, usage requirements, and product characteristics. Below is a brief introduction to commonly used materials for inspection fixtures:
ABS Plastic
ABS plastic is a common plastic material. Its advantages include high hardness, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and good machinability. It is very suitable for making simple inspection fixtures with low precision requirements, such as plastic seals and appearance parts. It is also relatively inexpensive.
PVC Sheet
PVC sheet is a common plastic sheet with good durability and weather resistance. It has good mechanical properties and high transparency, making it suitable for making inspection fixtures with low precision requirements. It is also relatively inexpensive.
Steel
Steel is a common metal material with high hardness, high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is suitable for making high-precision inspection fixtures, such as measuring tool fixtures and mold adjustment blocks. However, steel is relatively expensive.
Aluminum
Aluminum is a common metallic material with good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and light weight. It is suitable for making some lightweight and high-precision inspection tools, such as measuring instruments and fixtures. However, aluminum is also relatively expensive.
