Looking for ideas on how to do the clamping for a small tooling fixture I am trying to design.
The part being machined is plastic angle (L) that has to have 3 different machining steps performed on it.
The part needs to be referenced from the inside of the angle, the clamp(s) holding it down and into the jig post. Think of pushing down and also to the rear of the table. Headroom is tight, about 1" or less during operation. I am thinking about some sort of toggle clamp operation.
Is it possible to apply clamp pressure in 2 axis from 1 toggle clamp?
Any ideas?
